Road Trippin to San Francisco:

A couple of years ago it was labor day and Lindsay and I were anxious to go somewhere. My sister Allison also had the travel bug as her husband was out of town and she had time to hang out. Thanks to Hotwire.com we found an incredible deal on a downtown hotel and at the last minute decided to take off and head on a road trip to San Francisco. We spent the first evening in a shady Reno motel but by the next morning we were crossing the Bay Bridge into one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Once in San Francisco we hit all the major sites: Fisherman's Wharf, China Town, Golden Gate Bridge, etc. We also spent an afternoon hanging out around the hippy district of "Haight & Ashbury." In the 60's my father Ken was a missionary in this area and we went and found his old flat on Carl Street. We also spent some time checking out the Marina District and the Ebarcedero as we have had both a brother and sister live there. At nights we hung out in North Beach and Coit Tower and by day we cruised all the major shopping districts like Union Square, Market Street, etc. We ate at good restaurants, enjoyed the architecture and just all around had a fantastic weekend in the "city by the bay." If you live in Utah then a weekend adventure to San Francisco is an unbeatable roadtrip!
