SAN FRANCISCO!!

A Labor Day in San Fran! 

On our trip north we spontaneously decided to detour and spend a day in San Fran.  Matt had never been to San Francisco so I was excited to go with him!  

We stayed in a hotel right outside of the city and had the whole day to EXPLORE! 

We went to the mall on Market Street and did a little shopping...Of course ;)  We then took a traditional trolly to Pier 39 which is famous for all it shops and famous seafood!

Matt has traveled a lot in his life and when we pulled into the city he said it looked like it could be another country!  The city has thousands upon thousands of crammed together little buildings, shops, apartments, and town homes, not to mention several districts representing countries from all over the world like Russia, China, Itay, etc...Pretty cool!

You can see Alcatraz island also!

so many people there this weekend! 

We couldn't stop laughing at this picture...guess why... (it looks like Matt is missing a tooth) hahahah maybe it's because of the beard??  

We ate lunch at Bubba Gump at the end of the Pier! Delicious!

Matt & I have a serious problem, our sweet tooths...teeth? haha We love sweets and it makes it worse because we BOTH have the hardest time saying no to chocolate! So Ghirardelli square was glad to have us...

Oops! It's my birthday in a few days...birthday calories don't count..right?!

After visiting Ghirardelli Square we had to rest for a bit and digest the chocolate we inhaled.  We relaxed on a beautiful grassy hill overlooking the bay.  

I really need to publicly thank my sperry's for taking good care of my feet!

Awkward picture, cool view.... diggin it. 

nope, not windy at all!!!!

photo cred: the sexy bearded hubby 

made it just in time to see the sunset!

GOLDEN Gate Bridge, literally 

My world!

After seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, we went back to Pier 39 and got a world famous San Francisco sourdough bread bowl to split for dinner. I didn't get a picture quick enough before it was gone, so it must have been good! Matt said that it was a much cooler city than he thought it would be! So glad we stopped in for a little peek. Thanks San Francisco for starting off my birthday week with a BOOM!!  Till next time.
