San Francisco Trip

In the city of LOVE I found what I was looking for....

The boyfriend and I went to San Francisco for the weekend. I was a little skeptical about how the event would go considering we have not done anything like this before. This was our first alone trip. I was nervous he wouldn't have fun. It was almost like I don't know my own boyfriend out of our natural element.

We decided to backpack around the city and not have to worry about suitcases so we could go to as many different places as possible. We flew right into the city and headed toward Union Square. We then proceeded to check out different tourist spots. We saw the Warf, the Golden Gate bridge, Golden Gate park, Alamo Square. Haight and Ashbury, China Town, and of course shopping. We then headed back to Union Square to check out more shopping. We had a company party to attend Saturday night so we hopped on the Bart to Pleasanton. We got ready and went to the Black Hawk Antique Car Museum for dinner and drinks.

The food was unbelievable. We didn't stay too long we were exhausted from the the long day. We decided to take the first bus back to the hotel after taking pictures with the cars. We got up early on Sunday to head back into the city where we spent most of the day at the Warf. We walked up Embarcadero and visited the different shops and experienced the ocean front view. Where I finally found a scarf and sweatshirt. I found the cutest bag that was so cheap, of course that was exciting.

Our goal was to find matching jackets sweatshirts. It is harder than it sounds to find a small women's jacket or shirt that matches a men's large sweatshirt. We headed back to Union square where we found the best chocolate drinks EVER, but no jackets.

The Bart ride back was fun, we had one on one time without the distractions of the TV or books or the daily materials of our lives. We arrived to the airport early and were able to hop on an early flight. Thank goodness because I didn't want to sit in the airport for another hour.

The trip was wonderful! While sitting on a double deck tourist bus we listened as they called San Francisco the home of Cupid where a bow and air marked the city. I didn't really read too far into the story, but once leaving I felt closer and happier in my relationship and wish I knew more.
