I ended up trading in my pair for brand new pair of the same sunglasses without paying anything. SCORE. We walked around and shopped a bit on Union and Chestnut (some of my favorite streets in the city)... and then grabbed dinner at Tacolicious. Tripp had been here before when Roger visited and we had a great dinner catching up.
CHEERS, baby boo!
We got split 4 tacos - cod, braised chicken, brisket and carnitas. They were fab.
Then we stopped at Susie Cakes down the road and grabbed some sweets :)
We got back to the apartment early and looked at the travel calendar for a bit... then went to bed. I was so tired!!
The next morning, we had planned to go to Muir Woods... but we woke up so early and didn't want to wait until the ferry at 10:40. So change of plans - we headed for brunch at the famous - Mama's!
We stopped at Perry's for some coffee since I figured there would be a line. We took some pics in the street because there were so few cars out! It was quiet.
I still look asleep in this pic ha.
We pulled up around 9:30 and there were probably 60+ people in line. We were both good with that and ended up waiting in line for 2 hours. It went by surprisingly quickly.
St. Peter & St. Paul Catholic Church on Washington Square.
We made it to the front of the line!!!!
Once you finally get inside Mama's, you wait in line and order. You can watch the cooks make the food! It was all so yummy!!
I got cranberry orange french toast with a side of potatoes and Tripp got an omelet. It was good, but not the best brunch we've had in the city. I'm glad we did it!
Classic San Francisco weather... cloudy and chilly when I took the earlier pic and now it was sunny and beautiful!
After brunch, we sat at Washington Square park and people watched. Dogs, families, people everywhere. Wish SOMA had a park like this!
Next up - Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill. Had been on our bucket list and since we were already close to it, we decided to check it out.
Built in 1933, Coit tower lies at the very top of Telegraph Hill and has become a featured landmark. Serving as a memorial for the fallen firefighters who fought the 1906 earthquake fires. Some say that the tower is designed purposely in the shape of a fire hose nozzle. Coit Tower, named for wealthy San Francisco eccentric Lillie Hitchcock Coit and built with money she bequeathed, is both a vantage point and one of San Francisco's most photographed buildings. It is also home to a flock of wild parrots.
Happy Flag Day!
Flag day at Coit Tower :)
Inside there are murals all over the walls. We didn't ride up since it was a foggy day so the views would be minimal.
In SF-style, we just happened to be in North Beach for the 61st North Beach Festival.
Later in the day we sat at Union Square and shopped some. I was sad to leave today. It's been the shortest trip I've taken to SF. I loved being able to go and not have to worry about working remotely and getting everything prepped before that... but I didn't want to leave Tripp :(
Next time we see each other, it will be because Tripp is in AR for 13 days! Cannot WAIT!
