If you're going to San Francisco.....

We took a trip down to San Francisco for the long weekend. We had never been before and were really excited to check things out. We had lots of fun riding the cable cars. Waiting in line forever at the one place, not so much.
We went to Chinatown for some dim sum and chicken chow mein....
I loved watching the sea lions, they were everywhere. They smelled pretty bad though....
We went on a bay cruise so we could check out the Golden Gate Bridge. Fortunately, the fog lifted a little so we could see it...
We hiked up the hills to check out Lombard Street, the crookedest street...
We took the bus to Coit Tower and checked out the view of the bridge....we should have waited a little later for our bay cruise!
We got our picture taken at Coit Tower....
A local on the bus ride up told us about some stairs through a garden with wild exotic birds, I loved the parrots...I love Victorian Houses so we took the bus out of the city to check out the "Painted Ladies." Now everyone keeps telling me about it being in the back drop for Full House. So do not remember that!
We went to the Boudin Sourdough Factory Bistro for dinner. Jason chowed down on some clam chowder...
We went and got dessert at a great little chocolate shop....
We took the cable car to the BART station to go home. We were sad to leave and hope to visit again soon!

Great travelogue - I do remember the "Painted Ladies" featured in the Full House opening. My favorite parts of TV shows and Movies is figuring out the real locations.

You saw a lot more than we got to see. I didn't even know half of that stuff was there! Thanks for the tour :-) I actually remember the "Painted Ladies" as well in Full House. Great photos!
