San Fran Recap Day 1

As usual, the easiest way to recap our trip is to take it day by day. So, Day 1:

A little last minute packing. Cutest helper ever, right?

And then we left P with Mimi (with no tears from him and only minimal tears from me-  yay!) and headed to the airport!

After a few delays, a bumpy landing in Denver and a close connection we made it to San Francisco where we lucked out with the shadiest cab driver ever. Finally at Ryan's we crashed about 2:30 a.m. west coast time.

Our first day in San Francisco was July 4!

We started the day with a quick walk down (down being the key word) Lombard Street.

Then Keith and I had a Ghirardelli sundae for breakfast. Best breakfast ever.

We quickly burned off all of those calories with a 2 mile walk to the Ferry Building. On the way we passed the America's Cup Village so we stopped for a look at the boats.

At the Ferry Building...

We ate more.


Olive oil tasting

Yummy!

Spring rolls from Out the Door, the faster more affordable option in The Slanted Door family

Coke is always better in a glass bottle.

Then it was off to Sausalito for the afternoon, dinner, and fireworks.

This is a houseboat. Crazy.

Dinner at Sushi Ran. So, so good. Especially these heirloom tomatoes.

Fireworks in Gabrielson Park

From Gabrielson Park in Sausalito we could see the Sausalito fireworks and the San Francisco fireworks. The San Francisco fireworks were my favorite. They were going off from two different locations and were synchronized. While the fireworks were great, the drive home was not. It took us an hour just to get out of Sausalito (and if I had been driving instead of Ryan it would have taken us longer!). All in all though it was a fun day! Happy Birthday, America!
