We are so excited to share where we ate in San Francisco because everything we had there was so delicious! On our Lyft ride to the airport on our way back home, we had made a list of our favorite restaurants, so we dug out our travel notebook and are ready to share! San Francisco was one of the most expensive places we’ve ever been to, especially the food! Everything we had was…
Read MoreSan Francisco is definitely not short on coffee shops. There were so many so besides Blue Bottle, which we had heard about before, we stopped by whatever looked good! Luckily it worked out for us and all of the coffee we had was amazing! Something I loved about almost all of the cafes was that they did not use plastic stirrers for you to mix your coffee with - there was a cup of clean spoons and a…
Read MoreWhen we first started looking for lodging near SF, I told Jess that I wanted to stay near Daly City or Millbrae because I have a couple friends who live out there. After a few recommendations to check out Oakland instead, and also a few peaks at the price difference between the two, we made the call to stay in Oakland. When we’re travelling, we always make sure to check out…
Read MoreWhen we first started looking for places to stay in San Francisco, we were blown away by how expensive the lodging is. We knew we had to look into the suburbs, and because neither of us had ever been there, we didn’t know where to stay. We had heard that Oakland was great and found some cheap airbnbs there, so we decided on that. Once we got there, we realized we were right…
Read MoreNick and I took a day trip to Napa Valley to go olive oil and wine tasting. Since neither of us particularly like wine, we wanted to fill our trip with non-wine activities, which is pretty hard to do in wine country. One of our favorite things was visiting Gott’s Roadside. Nick loves diners, and when I saw this place online, I knew we had to go. There are several scattered throughout Napa Valley…
Read MoreWhen we were first planning our trip to San Francisco, we knew we had to go to Napa Valley - we were so close! We looked into every different way to get there and the easiest we could find was renting a car ourselves. Especially since neither of us are wine drinkers, a wine tour would have been way too much for us. By renting a car, we were able to plan our own itinerary and go at…
Read MoreSome of our favorite places were found on Haight Street and in Mission District. Both places are loud, colorful, and filled with culture. If I could have spent more time anywhere, it would have been in these two places. We started the day walking all the way…
Read MoreWe had planned from the beginning to explore San Francisco’s Chinatown and had saved it for our last afternoon. During the day, I found a cool instagram of someone who lived in SF. She posted about North Beach, which is SF’s Little Italy. Her description of…
Read MoreWe were lucky to be able to meet up with a few friends who live outside of San Francisco. Our first day in SF, we met up for breakfast with a friend. After, he offered to drive us to Fisherman’s Wharf, which was great because Fisherman’s Wharf was…
Read MoreWe started planning a trip to San Francisco in the spring to celebrate Nick’s birthday. Every year for our birthdays, we give each other “experience gifts” instead of a material gift. His birthday was in June, which makes this end-of-August trip a little late, but it was the only time we could go this summer. Neither of us have ever been to San Francisco (Nick had been outside SF last year…
