I'm having a hard time narrowing down all the pictures I want to post so I'm just doing overload. We started the morning by walking to brunch. We did sleep in a little bit haha! About 10-15 min there, Greta went to take a picture and realized the battery wasn't in it so back to the apartment we went. Then re-traced and finally made it to the most glorious breakfast!
SATURDAY
KITCHEN STORY
Ha, we had actually walked by it on our little adventure yesterday when we got lost. I don't know how we missed it!
Marscapone Deep-Fried French Toast
Millionaire's Bacon Eggs Benedict
It was the perfect combination of savory and sweet. And then the check came paper clipped to this book. How cute is that??

PAINTED LADIES
We then reached our destination to the Painted Ladies without going the wrong way this time.
We were here for quite a while and had taken some people's pictures. So then a lady asked how much I charged haha and of course we asked her to return the favor. When I took her ipad there was a nametag from the Oakland Temple Visitor's Center. I asked her when she went there and she said just yesterday and that it was gorgeous and definitely worth the trip over there haha! She took all the poses of us at all different angles!

WALKING TOUR
I had found a 6 mile walking tour of San Francisco that we decided to do today. It hit really all of the big tourist points. We improvised a little bit but it was so nice to have it as a guide!
FERRY BUILDING
PIER 39 + FISHERMAN'S WHARF
We walked all along the water until we reached Pier 39. It reminded us a little bit of being in Seattle. We love the West Coast!!
After all that rain yesterday, we totally lucked out with the SUN!!! We were absolutely loving it. It was a bit windy but we felt like we couldn't really complain about that. It made for a perfect day.

This store was the perfect thing for Greta and I to run into! Except we realized that after 24 years we have adapted quite proficiently to living in a "right-handed" world.
Alcatraz Island!!
This bread was SOOO fresh and good!!! We loved every bite of the round we bought.
This arcade is filled with games from all eras. It was so fun to just walk around. And they are all coin-operated so they were super cheap!
This reminded us of Princess Diaries and since we were in San Francisco we had to try it ha!
uh oh!!
GHIRADELLI SQUARE
Yes, it tasted as good as it looks!
So instead of waiting in the long line for the street car we decided to walk up the hill. STRAIGHT UP. But when we got to the top, we realized something. We weren't even out of breath!! Even after living in Utah for 6 years, we had not adjusted to the altitude. The air is so much better at sea level! We loved it!
LOMBARD STREET
Not really sure why this is even a thing, but this 8 hairpin turn street is fabulous. There were literally cars lined up to drive down it. We just walked down it and it was so fun!
I love how all the street names were carved into the concrete!

COIT TOWER
This is about the closest we ever got to getting a good picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. Is it horrible that we went to San Francisco and didn't get closer??
NORTH BEACH
I LOVE fun bookstores!! This one is famous for the Beat era.
A whole bookcase of Jane Austen! Swoon!
CHINATOWN
I love how all the different parts of the city are so unique! It's interesting how we always cling to people that are like us.
This fortune cookie factory was so cool!! This little old lady just sat there and made all the cookies with a smile on her face. It was the cutest.
UNION SQUARE
KING OF THAI NOODLEHOUSE
Pad Thai
Yellow Curry
We put in another 10 mile day. Whether it was the hills or our shoes or what, we were not only sore (which we could handle) but we also had a lot of pain in our feet. By 7 we were pretty much done. We decided to go see Lion with Barret and Maggie. It was SO good! Super similar to the story from the book the Orphan Keeper. We saw this on our way to the movie theater...So random, but so funny!
SUNDAY
It was so fun to go to church in the middle of the city. It was another rainy morning but you can always find peace by finding a church building.
We then went with Barret and Maggie to breakfast. It was a fun little place! As with all the places we went to in this city haha!
We took our first public transportation, the BART, (underground subway) to the museum. I was expecting a quiet peaceful Sunday at the museum, taking our time walking through the gallerys, but I guess everyone else had the exact.same.idea. There were people everywhere!! But it was still a great time. I'm definitely a fan of museums.

SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
We thought the chalkboard scribbles were appropriate for a teacher.
This artist was amazing!! They had so many that were flawless. Or like this one where they are made of smaller pieces that make a bigger piece.
GOLDEN GATE PARK
We took the bus to this park where we spent the rest of the evening.
We underestimated how much sunlight we had left but I seriously could've spent all day here. It was so peaceful and green! It was so weird to us how when you look at a map you don't really get to see the landscape so when you get to a destination, it's always a surprise!
Basically everything was closed by the time we got there so I'm dying to go back soon!
ICE CREAM BAR
This was the cutest ice cream shop!! It was so fun to sit in there for a minute and it also was THE BEST ice cream.
Greta got a devil's food cake one and I got a passionfruit raspberry one I think. Both were delish!
We woke up bright and early the next morning and made our way back to the Oakland Airport. It was pouring once again. But it was a fantastic trip!! It's always fun to get away for a little bit and take a step back from normal life. We walked our little feet right off and had a blast! And clearly saw so many things. Glad I can now cross SF off my bucket list!
