in San Fran

November 2012- Sunny, Hilly, Fascinating


Over the years I've heard a lot of people complain about the weather in San Fran. I've heard it's foggy, it's rainy, it's windy...well, they're all either lying or I'm just lucky, because EVERY single I go, it's GORGEOUS. Not to hot, not too cold, not foggy, not windy, purely perfect! 

This particular trip, was a first for John Paxton. Brad has a business trip and we tagged along. We packed up the stroller, and my favorite walking boots and off we went. My FAVORITE thing to do in this city is walk...miles...so while Brad worked, Pax and I took off around the city. 

Here was our first stop...recognize it?

It's a shame Paxton will never really know just how amazing "Full House" really was...
Due to all the business conferences in town, we ended up in Japan Town for our hotel, it was very authentic...Hotel Kabuki, it's connected to some pretty good sushi restaurants> http://www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/california/san-francisco-hotels/hotel-kabuki

Plus there's a Japanese dollar store down the street that has awesome finds, totally worth popping in! 
Also, a great dinner spot which is not Japanese, but in walking distance is Woodhouse Fish Co. they have awesome mussels, oysters, fish, anything from the sea, it's cute, quaint, cozy and their online website doesn't do it justice. http://www.woodhousefish.com/WFC%20Fillmore%20Menu%202010.pdf

While I didn't have a ton of time to hit up all of favorite spots in San Fran, here are some more places I love and highly recommend:

The Slanted Door Restaurant near the Ferry Building = AMAZING! 

Also, a walk thru China town to find the fortune cookie factory, it's nearly hidden in a side alley, but where you're close you'll know it, just follow the scent...and bring some quarters if you want to take an photos (they charge you, haha)
