Our first night in San Francisco we decided to check out a recommendation of our concierge for dinner. The restaurant was called Trattoria Contadina. It was one of the best Italian meals I have had to date. The restaurant was small and had a nice cozy vibe to it. We all sampled each others pasta and it was hard to choose a favorite.
Before turning in for the night we took a nice walk down by the Wharf to catch a quick peek of Alcatraz. Though I've seen it many time I have never had enough time to take a tour. Is it worth it? I've always wanted to make it happen.
The next day we decided to get in as much site seeing as we could before heading out to Napa. We first made a stop at the famous Lombard St. It is famous for its steep east to west drive down to the bottom of the street. There is also a great view of the city from the top.
Next stop was breakfast and mimosas in the Mission District of San Francisco. After some quick Google research we decided to try out Mission Beach Cafe. We were so glad we did. I had an incredibly buttery and delicious chocolate croissant.
Of course we had to make the all important Full House stop. We cranked up the theme song and headed over to the park to get a few shots of the house that is on the opening of the show.
Last but certainly not lease we made the stop at the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately the fog had rolled in so we weren't even able to see the bridge as we drove across. We were able to go to a higher point and look down at the bridge over the top of the fog. It was just as beautiful as it always is.
Next stop Napa Valley....
