San Fran

San Francisco is definitely a place to see. We first drove over the Bay Fridge but realized we couldn't check in until 4 so we drove over to the Golden Gate Bridge to take some pics. We had 3 hours until check in so we decided to go to Muir Woods and that way we would get to drive over the Golden Gate. Lucky for us it was not foggy when we arrived, but it was so foggy when we left San Fran that the bridge disappeared completely. Muir Woods was nice, we took the Hillside trail and gained some height, not enough compared to those trees. The loop trail took about an hour. We stayed in the Marriott Marquis downtown and that hotel was beautiful, they had a restaurant on the 39th floor called the View and it seemed to be a popular spot. For dinner we walked to a place called the Grove, they served breakfast all day and I'm so happy that they did. We had the best food ever. I had a goat cheese and basil omlete with hash browns and toast. If you go to San Francisco go to the Grove, the prices are really reasonable too.. 
The next day we took the streetcar to the Fishermans Wharf and got clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, which was delicious too. Pier 39 is known for their sea lions so we walked down to there, a sign said most of the sea lions had gone south for the summer but a handful remained. We stopped in a candy store called the Candy Baron. Tons of taffy and every candy you could ever imagine was in that store, we actually saw an ad on snapchat that was for a credit card company but it featured that store in the ad. Lombard street was close enough to walk to so we headed over there to walk up and down the famous street. The right side had 20 or something less steps than the left side and the view from the top was worth the hike. We saw the Painted Ladies square and stopped to take pictures on the way out the next day. 
Heading to LA today and stopping in Carmel to see the sea otters and driving down Big Sur for a bit.
