San Francisco: Day 1

We arrived in San Francisco at about 12:00 so we of course went straight to lunch after checking in at our hotel. Traveling is about the food, right??? This trip kind of snuck up on us, so I researched on the 5 hour plane ride there. Nothing like the last minute. We started at Hog Island Oysters on the water. Holy amazingness. This was wonderful. We got oysters and chowder. Yum.

Next we had to work off our lunch, so we biked around San Francisco and across the Golden Gate bridge to Salsalito. It was very fun but HARD. I was not nearly prepared enough for how difficult it was and I was channeling "nervous Tom" and was afraid we were going to miss the last ferry back to San Fran. No way I could bike back over that thing!

Also, when I thought this would be such a good idea, I forgot I'm not a very good biker and AFRAID OF HEIGHTS! The Golden Gate bridge is HIGH. This was as close to the edge as I was getting. Looks like I was channeling my father yet again with the heights thing. Thanks Dad.

We made the ferry back after some crazy fast biking. I was so glad we did it once I knew we were going to make the ferry. The first day was long and we were tired, but very very fun. I really love spending quality time with my wonderful husband. People say you really learn a lot about people when you travel, and after all the trips Adam and I have been on, we know we are a great travel couple. Good thing because we both love it!

We had a casual dinner in Fisherman's Wharf and turned in early.
