Vacation Visuals: San Francisco

in Uncategorized on

Hi! I’m back! And I have (way too many) pictures! If you’d like to see, I’d love to share them with you. This post covers the highlights of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning – basically, all our time in San Francisco. I’ll do a separate, smaller post on Napa later this afternoon. Let’s start with our visit to Muir Woods on Thursday, shall we?

    I love seeing all of the photos! Looks like you had a great time 🙂 And the trees are the beginning are gorgeous! It would be so hard to get me to leave – I’d want to take photos all day!

      Thanks! We really didn’t want to leave Muir Woods (my dad and I wanted to stay and hike some more), but we had to catch our bus :/ It was so gorgeous and peaceful!

    Beautifully stunning…thank you for the vicarious vacation experience! A lot of your pictures brought on the nostalgia for me, because it was very similar to a lot of places I’ve been in the San Fran area. My mom’s side of the family all live over there, so I’ve seen similar, if not exactly the same, sites as you did…a Japanese Tea Garden, the art museum, the hike (which really reminded me of the the Redwood Tours we took with our grandparents as well as hiking around Yosemite National Park).

    And as always, I appreciated the food highlights. 😉

      Thank you! I wish we’d had some time to go to Yosemite, but we squeezed a ton into a short amount of time. So fun 🙂

    San Francisco is one of my favorites cities ever! I didn’t get to go to Alcatraz when I went there, but I hope to go back soon! Love the pictures 🙂

    I’ve never been to San francisco but your pictures really make me want to go!!! I would never wear those jeans. My random thought is I’m really tired of this stupid fruit fly buzzing around. lol

      It was a really cool place to visit! I like Napa even better, but both were wonderful. Hope that fruit fly stops bugging you 🙂
