We stayed at the Good Hotel, in a funky little room that almost looked like a dorm room! But, it was recently renovated and pretty nice overall. It was just off 7th and Mission, so we were about a block south of Market St.
We had ordered CityPasses before we got to San Fran, and those are fantastic...it included all of the attractions that we wanted to see and a MUNI pass for transportation. Overall, we saved about $60 each by getting the CityPass.
Aquarium of the Bay, where I chickened out on touching a leopard shark..
Pier 39, with a whole bunch of cool shops and SEA LIONS...
Ghirardelli Square...but we resisted the urge to buy any chocolate.
We LOVED riding the trolley cars...we took the Powell/Hyde street trolley three times, and the Powell/Mason street trolley once.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art...wicked cool to see all sorts of paintings that I had studied in school!
We were amazed by the size of the Westfield Shopping Center, and the Old Navy store on Market Street, and were psyched to eat at Rubio's, In & Out Burger, etc. We did try some good sourdough bread too!
Alcatraz was unreal...we took the short cruise over to the island, then toured the gardens and prison. As you'll see below, we couldn't manage to pull off the aggressive inmate look when we were behind bars...
One of the other things that we really wanted to do was to take a ride over the Golden Gate Bridge. We tracked down a tour company that offers 2-hour trolley car (on wheels) tours of the city. So, we jumped on and went all over...looked at famous sights, learned some of the history, saw some celebrity houses, and went over the Golden Gate. (Unfortunately my camera died prior to the tour, so I'll try and track down some of those pics from Angie to post on here.)
It was an awesome time, and I'll post some GGB pics when I can!
