San Francisco

San Francisco: April 13-17, 2011

I am finally getting around to posting about my amazing trip to San Francisco (life is too busy and crazy!!). It was by far one of my favorite vacations ever! I went with my brother Ryan and his wife Becky and I was able to meet up with my friend Chelsea. The city was amazing! Enjoy a few "snapshots" of my trip!




Chelsea and I had so much fun! We drove down Lombard Street, found the Full House house (as a HUGE Full House fan, my life is now complete! haha!), walked in the redwoods (beautiful!!), drove along the Pacific Coast Highway (spectacular!!), and touched the Pacific Ocean. It was a great introduction to San Francisco.



Then I spent the evening with Ryan and Becky on Pier 39. We ate at Bubba Gumps, looked at the sights, and watched the Sea Lions.



The next day, we took a double decker bus tour of the city, across the Golden Gate bridge and out to Sausilito.



Then we took a ferry out to Alcatraz. This was fascinating and disturbing all at the same time!



The next day we rode the trolley, took another tour of the city, walked around China town, toured a WWII submarine, toured the Boudin Bakery, and took a night tour of the city. Plus we ate at the Cheesecake Factory on top of Macys, overlooking the city. That was really cool!



And then my camera died. So I don't have pictures of our last day (until Becky gets them to me!). This day we went to the redwoods (I love hiking!!!), ate at the most delicious hamburger joint in Sausilito, walked around Ghiradelli Square and ate huge ice cream sundaes, and took a bay cruise out under the Golden Gate bridge. It was amazing!!!

It was a lot of fun to spend time with Ryan and Becky. Becky and I became "Giggle Sisters" because we kept having random and uncontrollable fits of giggles! And every time we would get off a bus or a boat, we would all walk around like we were drunk and tip over randomly! It was pretty funny but you probably had to be there!

It was a great trip that I will never forget!!
