The next place on our list to stop was San Francisco, California. We took drove our rental car down there, and our first stop was the Walt Disney Family Museum. This was something I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend $25 each on, but it was one hundred percent worth it! We only gave ourselves an hour and a half in there, thinking like many of our museum stops so far, that would be plenty of time. We were wrong! We could’ve easily spent another hour or longer in there. It was overwhelming, yet so fascinating. My Dad would LOVE it!! Each room had so much information and cool items in it that you could spend 30 minutes in easily in each room. I loved our time there. Next we headed to check into our hotel and drop off the rental car. The Marriot Marquis SanFran was AWESOME! The gym was the best part, humongous and soooo nice. I was thrilled that they had a stair master! Brings me back to my USF days when I was prepping for the wedding. After that we headed over to Rocco’s Cafe to meet Madi’s friend for lunch. It was a pretty good little Italian place, and the lady working was from NC! What are the odds?! That evening we took the cable car down to Hyde Street and walked around the Fisherman’s Wharf. We had a great time watching the Sea Lions. Dinner was at Wipeout Bar and Grill on the pier. We hiked up to Lombard Street (it’s quite steep getting to the top) and had a great sun setting view of the city. Then we headed back to get some sleep!
Day two was JAM packed. We started the morning off at the Hollywood Cafe for breakfast (YUM!) this place was a little while in the wall but so so good. They had a great early 2000s Pandora station going which we LOVED. We headed to meet our tour bus at Dylan’s tours. This tour group was awesome! We hit just about everything in the city that we wanted to see. It was six hours long, but honestly couldn’t have been any shorter if you want to see the main points. This included going over to Sausalito and the Muir Woods. The woods were just big enough to get us in to see some huge trees, but not an all day thing (which we liked). Our guide lastly stopped by the Marin Headlines since we had a bit of time to spare, which may have been my favorite part of the day! That view was the best to me! Although Twin Peaks had a great view of the WHOLE city too. We grabbed some dinner at In-N-Out (had to) and then for dessert: the Baked Bear where I got a custom ice cream sandwich OMG SO GOOD. Lastly we did the Alcatraz night time tour, which was awesome. We got to learn more about the prison and tour the island. The audio tour was put together really well. It was a lot of fun. But also kind of eerie.
Our time in SanFran went so quickly, we could have easily spent another two days there. It was our favorite stop so far! We definitely plan on coming back there some day!! Our next stop is a little more chill in Monterey. Back on the train we go!!
