1st Anniversary Trip to SF





Hi all,

I thought I would do a little roundup on our first anniversary trip up to San Francisco. We took a long weekend and flew up on Thursday, giving us the whole weekend to explore the city!

My husband booked our hotel for us, so I was shocked when I saw the beautiful view from our hotel room: a straight shot of Coit Tower.

     

Friday was our first full day in the city, so we took to the streets of San Francisco early in the AM in search of one of my favorite coffee spots, Philz 😊


We walked down the Embarcadero to Fisherman's Warf, where we tried to get a picture in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, but our plans were foiled by Karl. We were not dismayed, though, and decided to walk up to the Ghirardelli factory to split an ice cream sundae.

     

We spent the rest of the day exploring North Park, walking to and up Coit Tower, and stopping in cafes intermittently for much needed coffees and pastries.

We both woke up the next morning ready for another day of exploring but also absolutely exhausted! After realizing we had walked 8 miles the previous day, we decided to Uber to the Mission district for brunch and ended up at Stone Mill Matcha, where I had the best Swiss roll and matcha latte ever. Plus, just look how sweet their presentation is!

     

As our trip came to a close, we crossed the Golden Gate to spend some time wandering through Sausalito before heading back over the bridge to Golden Gate Park. The weather became quite gloomy so we stopped in for dumpling soup & dim sum (so delicious).

    


Overall, I couldn't have asked for a more fun or perfect anniversary trip. I feel so lucky to have gotten to go to this beautiful city with my best friend 😊
