San Francisco

Ben and I took a quick weekend trip last weekend to San Francisco because Ben wanted to see the play "Stereophonic," which is touring across the country but is not coming to Denver. We thought SF would be a fun place to visit, so we made a weekend out of it.

We did all the main highlights (including a ride in Waymo, a driver-less taxi) and had a great time. Turns out, after almost 21 years of marriage, he's still my favorite travel buddy.

I found Alcatraz to be extremely creepy! I'm very glad we went (a bucket list item for sure) but I'm glad we didn't pay for the extended tour and I don't need to go back.

It was very foggy when we got on the boat for Alcatraz!

Ben loved the city streets

We found a great breakfast place

Our first Waymo ride. Ben LOVED it. Me, not so much.

Fisherman's Wharf

We really enjoyed being at the Golden Gate Bridge and walking mostly across it. What an absolutely magnificent structure!

The reason we came: Stereophonic. Ben listened to a podcast episode about it and wanted to go, so we did. I thought it was OK, Ben really liked it. Definitely a lot of cussing. But overall, a good time.

This is the hotel we stayed at: Staypineapple. It was a cute boutique hotel. The bed was so comfortable we came home and bought the same mattress and pillows for our bedroom.

We walked to Lombard Street. We walked down it, and it hurt our knees. It really is steep!

The roads are so steep you have to street park at a 90 degree angle.

And, some more delicious breakfast. We love good food ;)

It was really nice to do a quick weekend getaway. We need to do more of these!
