San Francisco

After our day in Napa we returned to San Francisco for the weekend. We arrived at our hotel - the Renaissance Stanford Court. We got a great deal on Priceline...until we found out that it cost $45/night to park and saw that the room was in desperate need of a renovation. However, the location was great and when we arrived all we wanted to do was sleep.

On Saturday I got a map and found all of the spots we wanted to visit. We started off at the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Station. It was pretty neat. There were a ton of people, a lot of food and art vendors. From there we walked to Fisherman's Wharf. It was FREEZING cold and windy. We grabbed a bite to eat, saw a bunch of seals and Alcatraz Island and then caught a cab back to the hotel so I could change into something warmer!

From there we walked to Lombard Street. We knew we got there when we saw bunches of tourists in the middle of the road taking photos...so of course we stopped to do the same! Then, we walked to the house from Mrs. Doubtfire. On the way there we walked through a fair on Union Street. There were a ton of dogs there. It was really cool.

We found the Mrs. Doubtfire house. It was perfect - just as I had imagined it. We took some photos and then hiked up and down the hills of San Francisco to our next destination, the painted houses. They were really pretty and the park was beautiful.

Next on our agenda was the house from Full House. We found it easily and took more photos.From there we walked to Union Square for dinner. We ate at a little Thai restaurant and called it a night. I think we walked 7+ miles!

San Francisco was really beautiful, but there were some parts that were a bit shady. We liked our time there, but next time we might want to route our walks better to avoid certain areas!!
