This was also the morning of the San Francisco Marathon... and the finish line ended right off Embrcadero. We got coffee and Starbucks then watched people run through the finish line.
We went back to the apt, changed clothes and took Uber to the Sutro Baths. As we were driving, it started to get more foggy as we left downtown. I was hoping that wouldn't hinder the day/views!
We had originally planned on brunch at the cliff house (right next to the sutro baths), but after last night's expensive dinner... we decided against that. Driving by...
The Sutro Baths, which used to be the world's largest public swimming pool before it burned down, are now ruins along the ocean.
We walked along the concrete ruins.
Nobody is ever going to love this guy more than me... so proud to be his!
There was a cave nearby, so we walked through that as well.
The view at the other end of the cave. So beautiful.
We walked on the pretty (no seaweed) beach.
My feet in the cold pacific ocean :)
The heart rock out in the water.
Then we decided to climb this huge rock to get a better view. I took off my Toms because I didn't want to slip and we got to the top. So worth it.
The view of the Cliff House from the top of the rock... sure it has amazing views! I would love to have dinner at sunset.
We had to run around the rocks to walk down Ocean beach and we had to time it just right to not get splashed by water. It was hilarious.
There were quite a few surfers enjoying the huge waves.
Then the sun came out! As we were walking along the beach, we started finding sand-dollars. After a few, we noticed even more once the waves receded and we probably chased sand-dollars (literally that's what it felt like so we didn't get soaked) for an hour. It was SO fun. More and more people caught onto our trend, so we kept walking down the beach to have an area to ourselves :)
Check out the surfer!
It was an awesome day we will probably talk about forever. We laughed so hard because of course, we were SOAKED by the time we left the beach. The waves won a few times and my jeans were wet up to my butt with sand stuck to my legs. Tripp had tennis shoes on and they were full of water to.
With our loot we will take back to AR! :)
We also laid our blanket out and enjoyed the sun and the scenery. We ate our popcorn we bought yesterday too :)
This is the view of Ocean Beach looking back to the left towards Golden Gate Park (where the Cliff House/Sutro Baths were on the right).
Tripp helping me get the sand out of my jeans - true love :)
Waiting on Uber.
We took uber home, headed to the mall to buy Tripp some new sunglasses (praise the Lord) and then Tripp cooked tortellini + turkey meatballs with pasta we got from the farmer's market.
Oh what a beautiful life!
