Girls Trip - San Francisco Days 1 and 2

My sweet brother-in-law surprised Lisa with either a birthday and/or Christmas gift of a girl's trip to San Francisco. We left the day after Christmas and had so much fun eating delicious foods, navigating the crazy hills of SF, and just some good ol' fashion girl time (there were too many "What's Up Doc" references to count).  The highlight for me was seeing the Muir woods. The redwoods were just awe-inspiring. So tall, and the trunks were massive. And the smell. My goodness the smell in there was incredible. I will never forget it.  Cadence was such a great little traveler. She did so well the whole time, except when she got a little sick on our second-to-last day there. Poor little lamb.  She is just my little traveling gnome and has now made it to both coasts before her first birthday. It will be so fun so show her all these pictures when she is older.

On the first day, after a fun adventure trying to secure a rental car, we checked into our rental house in charming Noe valley. It was really beautiful and charming and even had easy street parking.   We walked around our neighborhood and grabbed lunch in a cute little coffee shop, and then grabbed some fruit and essentials at the local market.

The next day we took the J Church train downtown and walked over to Pier 39 and Fisherman's wharf where we ate at the Neptune restaurant that had the most beautiful panoramic views of the bay. I of course had a hamburger because I just don't do seafood and it was honestly, probably the best burger I've ever had. Then we made our way over to Ghirardeli Square and stood in a massive line for some amazing sundaes. It was delish. Then we eventually made it back home on public transportation and hiked up to the house.
