Day 12-San Francisco

Day 12: San Francisco

Hey y’all!! Sleepys back with another 10/10 amazing blog. Hold onto your seats and get ready to hear about our awesome day full of adventure and amazing food in San Francisco.

Our day started with an awakening at around 6:30 am to leave for the world renowned Cliff House. We got to meet Chef Kevin Weber who showed us around and treated us to some delicious pop-ups with strawberry and lemon marmalade. After we filled up, we headed to the city to explore.

First, we visited the Fisherman’s Wharf to take a group picture and listened to some amazing research on the Pacific Ocean, Alcatraz, Cannery Row, and more! After a group session, we all split up and headed out to the city for some exploring.

Groups went all over, some went shopping, others eating, and some just exploring the city. Most of TWB made a break for their first In-N-Out experience while others went for some famous street-style clam chowder in a bread bowl at Boudins in the Fisherman’s Wharf area. There were a huge variety of shops with amazing deals (some of us copped some $4 t-shirts lol).

There was so much to do in the city it was hard to decide. Many groups decided to catch a trolley to Ashbury or to see the famous Painted Ladies and Full House house! After some exploring on our own we met up in Chinatown to feast family-style on Grant’s dime at Far East Café. We got to explore some more after dinner before meeting up at 6 for the big bridge, so some kiddos headed to Ghirardelli to treat their sweet tooth with some famous $12 hot fudge sundaes. Yummy.

 Finally the big moment arrived as we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge as a family.  The world famous bridge took of breaths away, the view was amazing. From the bridge you could see the all of San Francisco and Alcatraz. Many of us strolled across the bridge singing to the top of our lungs, stopping to take pictures and just taking in the sheer beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge. After out 2 mile trek we stopped to take more pictures with the bridge in the background. Luckily our rides were waiting for us on the other side so we didn’t have to walk back across.


After a long and exciting day we headed back to Lake Side Presbyterian Church for another night on the outskirts of San Francisco. Thanks to our 3 minute showers we will have an early night so we will be ready for an early morning drove to Yosemite National Park.
