San Francisco, CA

This is one trip where, regrettably, I have no photos (or if I do I can't find them).  We took off one weekend and drove to San Francisco, following Highway 1 up the coast the entire way.  It was beautiful, but a rough drive (though not quite as bad as the hills once we reached the city!).

We parked and walked to Pier 39, where we took in sites of Alcatraz.  We stopped and saw the sea lions, and Nate got a bowl of clam chowder in sour dough.  From there, we walked up to Ghirardelli square, where we enjoyed the best (and probably most expensive) ice cream sundaes I've ever had.

It was a short trip, but it was a nice little break from Monterey.
