Our January Invasion of San Francisco


We have been compiling a "bucket list" of places we want to visit and things we want to do in San Francisco. So, today we decided to head on into the city and get some of those items crossed off!!

We couldn't have picked a more beautiful day - upper 60's and not a cloud in the sky (in San Francisco that is a big, big deal!).


We started the day with a Ride the Ducks tour. For those of you that don't know, a duck tour is one that goes on land and sea (like a duck!). We had a great time - all the girls cared about was the duck quackers that they had and used A LOT!!


After the tour, we drove over to the marina - my favorite part of the city - for a picnic lunch and a game of tag with dad.


Next we headed over to Twin Peaks. They are two little hills in the city that gives you a 360 degree view of the city. It was our first time going up there and wow was it worth it - the views were amazing and made even better with the perfect weather that we had.


We finished the day with a 90's flashback by going over to see the Painted Ladies - Full House anyone?? The Painted Ladies are a well known strip of Victorian row houses in San Francisco and were made mainstream famous by being in the opening credits of the show Full House.


Today was a great day. We had a really good time and got to see some great parts of one of the coolest cities that we have ever been to. We feel very fortunate to being living in Northern California and so close to so many great places.

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
- Psalm 51:10
