Sightseeing

We decided to spend a day in the city so we loaded up our bikes, packed a lunch and set out for an adventure.  We started at Golden Gate Park.  It was beautiful, we saw a waterfall, a beautiful lake, amazing gardens and a lot more.  There is so much to explore there!

We decided to bike all the way to the ocean, just because we could.  It was a little longer than I expected, but I was excited and determined to make it, so excited that I didn't even notice we were going downhill for the 3.5 miles to get there.  After realizing I'd have to bike 3.5 miles back I suddenly felt thirsty, hungry and exhausted.  It was definitely one of my hardest pregnancy moments and I was seriously contemplating sending Dave back to get the car and come pick me up.  I'll just say it was a long trip back and definitely not as enjoyable as the ride there.

Next stop was Baker Beach with an amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge.  It was a chilly day,but the sand was so warm and it felt amazing!  We had a delicious ( and well earned) picnic lunch there.

Dave wanted to get a closer look at the bridge so we took the scenic route around on our way to get some dessert at Ghiradelli Square.



Dave just about died when he saw the caramel and hot fudge that came out with our ice cream, he was seriously in heaven!  We enjoyed our ice cream in the warm sunshine while listening to some live music there.

We finished the day exploring downtown and window shopping around Fisherman's Wharf. We'll be back to try out a restaurant one of these days.
