Our first day was spent exploring the eclectic neighborhoods on foot, and day two was spent on bikes exploring the city, the Golden Gate Bridge, and taking in the beautiful views! The weather was perfect (Well, perfect weather minus the last hour of our bike ride....it started POURING and we were soaked. Needless to say, I became MORE than grumpy since I was soaked down to my sports bra.... but other than that....ha!)
I love the architecture of the homes in San Francisco - I was definitely humming the "Full House" theme (okay let's be real, I was singing it...Yes, I know the words) while we walked through the neighborhoods. Marcy was thrilled....
San Francisco Icon - The Transamerica Building
Marcy and me on top of the Coit Tower - a great way to see the city for only $5. We rode in the elevator that is original to the tower (1912) - definitely a little shaky and creaky, but totally cool!
The Embarcadero is a Ferry Terminal with shops and restaurants and a market on Tuesdays. Lucky for us, we were there on a Tuesday, so we had fun exploring the market and had an awesome lunch at this modern soda fountain place - YUM!
Pride flags everywhere...we were in San Francisco after all :)
We rented bikes from Blazing Saddles. This bike fanny pack, coupled with my AMAZING (yeah, right...) cycling skills definitely helped me blend in with all the other cyclists. It really was tons of fun, and I was only *slightly* sore the next day....
Marcy checking the map to make sure we were headed in the correct direction. We passed a cyclist earlier and he said that the minute we started heading down hill we should know we were going the wrong way. Um, okay....
THE Bridge - So spectacular!! We rode across it, which was incredibly windy but totally worth it!! Our total mileage for the day was 23 miles. Most of my hardcore cyclist friends think that's nothing, but I definitely felt a huge sense of accomplishment at the end of the day!!
I wonder how many people have this exact same picture
Such a sweet bridge!!
