San Francisco 2013

This past weekend Drew and I headed out to San Francisco for a little vacation.  Drew has an annual conference in San Fran for the product he uses called VMware.  It is a huge conference and Drew loves going.  In the past I have never been able to join him because August is not a good time to take off work when you are teaching. 

So this year we decided it was the year for me to join.  We flew out together and spent a long weekend exploring the city together.  Then I came home and Drew remained for the rest of the week for his conference.  I enjoyed the city so much next year I may just stay the whole time. 

Drew had been to San Fran before but has always been busy with his conference.  So this year we strapped on our tennis shoes and did all things tourist.  The first day we arrived, after I got in lots of shopping, we headed down along the bay for a Giants baseball game.  The stadium was beautiful and just beyond the outfield is the bay.  There were kayakers in the water ready to retrieve any homerun balls.  We were both really impressed with the stadium and had a great time despite the fact that it was really cold! 

 
The next day we headed down to Fisherman's Wharf.  We spent the day exploring the sites all along the bay.  From the Golden Gate Bridge to the Ghirardelli chocolate factory.  We took a boat tour that took us all around the sites.  It was a very windy ride but such a fun way to see everything. 
 
 















It was a fun day exploring all the sites.  The only down side of this day was when we got back to the hotel I became very sick.  Turned out I got food poisoning!  Not a fun way to spend a night in the city but what can you do!? 

The next morning after nursing me back to strength we checked into a new hotel where Drew would be spending the rest of the week.  We ventured out to explore the Ferry Building.  It had beautiful views of the bay and was less crowded.  It also had an indoor market filled with tons of fun food to explore. 





Overall it was a great trip to San Francisco!  We had so much fun exploring the city together and seeing new things.  I can't wait to go back again!
