This post is way over due. It was amazing to get away for a bit 2 weeks ago with the hubby. San Francisco is an amazing city. Lots of shopping, great food and sunshine. Super chilly at night and when the sun goes in, but I was prepared from my past experiences.
Even though I didn't make it to the gym in SF, I feel like I got an amazing workout from all the walking we did! Saturday morning we woke up early, had breakfast, and rented bikes. Yes, we were touristy, we rode our bikes across the bridge into Sausalito. So..much...fun...but a tough ride! 8 miles later we were dining in Sausalito, followed by coffee drinks before catching the ferry back to the city.
Sunday we explored some more, made it to the Coit Tower and a ton of parks, and did our fair share of people watching in North Beach.
If you plan on visiting San Francisco my tips are:
- Bring comfortable walking shoes
- Bring a jacket that transfers from day to night (jean jacket, blazer) because the city can go from what feels like 80 degrees to 50 degrees in a minute!
- Wear sunscreen. The temperature is deceiving. It may be chilly, but if the sun is out you will burn!
- Sit at an outdoor cafe and people watch. Lots to take in on the streets of SF :)
- Rent bikes to get around and explore, and if you have it in you, ride them across the bridge - it was definitely the highlight of our trip!
