Both D and I had a long weekend for Memorial Day - a rare treat for a couple who works in sports and medicine. We decided to take the opportunity to head north to San Francisco. One of D's friends from college lives in the Bay Area so it was a perfect opportunity.
We woke up bright and early Saturday morning and got on the road by 6am. I didn't take any pictures of the trip up, but once you get out of LA it's pretty much farms and cows. We met up with D's friend and headed to Berkeley for lunch and to check things out. After lunch we headed to a baseball game. D had met his friend while they both worked for the Diamondbacks, who happened to be playing in Oakland that weekend. Their old coworker hooked us up with some tickets and we had a great time.
On Sunday we headed into the city to do some exploring.
We climbed up San Fran's many hills and took in the sights:
We ate the best sourdough:
We saw the famous streets:
We enjoyed the houses, big and small:
(I'll take one of each)
We checked out Alcatraz, from afar:
We saw things you ONLY see in San Francisco:
And, of course, we took pictures of ourselves:
On Monday it was time to head back to LA, and we decided to take the PCH most of the way home. We stopped off in Monterrey and checked out Carmel-by-the-Sea, and even saw some Redwoods. The PCH was beautiful, but I didn't take one. stinkin. picture. the entire 10 hour trip down. What do I have a camera for, anyway? But believe me, it was pretty, and if you've never seen it you should go!
Sounds fun. But I'm confused, I thought Memorial Day was in May.?
