San Francisco!

It's been a while, I know. This post is long overdue! My mom came out to visit from Ohio last month, and we took a girl's trip up to San Francisco for a weekend. It was my second time there, but my mom's first, so of course we did all of the touristy stuff.

We visited Alcatraz in the late afternoon, which offered really great lighting.


The hospital upstairs is probably my favorite part of the prison. It's just so spooky with the old equipment and furniture. The peeling paint on the walls add to the creepiness as well.


We also made a point to ride a cable car. I don't find them to be very practical, but if you're feeling touristy (and we were!) it's a must.


Of course we'd stop and see the Golden Gate Bridge. Why would we have ignored that?


One thing we did on this trip that I didn't do on my first trip to San Francisco was visit Muir Woods. It was chilly and a little damp, but oh so pretty.


We also visited the Sea-Lebrities of Pier 39. I somehow missed these guys on my first trip, and I'm not sure how!

Overall, being touristy is a great way to see the sights, but with our back to back to back tours, it was exhausting. While my feet and legs were killing me, I can definitely say it was worth it!
