Day 1 - Friday September 7, 2007
A bunch of friends and I decided to spend a three day weekend in San Francisco at the end of the summer. We started off by heading to the SF Zoo in the morning. This zoo has plenty to see and some pretty good exhibits. It is a fun activity to do with friends to relax and hang out. We grabbed lunch at the cafe inside. Snacks are overpriced but it is convenient and we knew what to expect--it is zoo food afterall.

We checked into our hotel and got changed for dinner. The Whitcomb is a cute, historic hotel. The rooms were nice. They have a restaurant on the first floor that is connected to the restaurant. I'd eaten there before and the food was good but we wanted to go out to eat at the Cliff House, instead.

Day 2 - Saturday September 8, 2007
The next morning we went to Fisherman's Wharf. One of my friends was visiting from out of town and wanted to see some of the city's popular tourist sites. We watched the sea lions lounge on the docks and then ate at the Sea Lion Cafe for lunch. The food was good but nothing too special. It was nice to have a view of the sea lions as we ate.
After lunch we wandered around Fisherman's Wharf. The tours of Alcatraz were all booked so we just took pictures of it, instead.


We spent some time wandering around Chinatown and looking through all the shops there. After that, we bought deli sandwiches and headed to Golden Gate Park to have a picnic dinner. It was a very relaxing afternoon and very enjoyable. The Japanese Tea Garden is worth checking out although we didn't go there on this trip.

Day 3 - Sunday September 9, 2007
After the show we went to take a look at Lombard Street. This is a must-see in San Francisco. I've seen it many times and I always take visiting friends to see the curvy street. Afterwards we went to dinner at The Stinking Rose. This restaurant is famous for having a ton of garlic. It was really fun place and I thought the food was good; their bread with garlic oil spread was tasty. After dinner we drove back home, glad that we had spent the weekend in the city.
