San Francisco - Day 1

For our ten year anniversary we wanted to go somewhere really fun and decided it would be fun to go with all of our friends we met when we were first married. One of the couples (Lance and Stephanie) were married on the same day, same year, same temple, just a few hours later than us. We are all celebrating ten years this year or last year so everyone was excited to go.

We flew in early Thursday morning and didn't waste any time getting started. We checked in to our Hotel which was on Fisherman's Wharf and then we walked straight over to Ghirardelli Square and started sampling chocolate. We finished off with some good hot chocolate, a triple chocolate brownie, and a chocolate croissant. You would think we would be sick of chocolate after that but it was just the beginning!

We hadn't figured out the public transportation system yet so we just started walking up some major steep streets making our way to Lombard Street or "Crookedest Street". The pictures don't even do it justice for just how steep the majority of the streets are in San Francisco.

After a lot of walking we decided we better figure out the transportation system so we took our first ride on a cable car and then went to the cable car museum.

"When in Rome..."

By now we were starving and thought Mexican food sounded good...next thing we knew we were in Mexico, or pretty close to it. The neighborhood was very sketchy and so were the bus rides to and from, but the burritos were really good! Afterwards, we went back to the hotel and got ready for Wicked. It was amazing and we absolutely loved it! Only bad thing is that we were completely exhausted and I kept falling asleep.
