Labor Day Weekend - San Francisco

Every year my birthday lands around or on the Labor Day Holiday. This year it landed the weekend after my actual birthday which worked out great, because it allowed me to enjoy time with my family and friends on my special day, and to enjoy time away with my husband. As some of you know and as I have stated before on this blog, my husband gifted me a trip to San Fran for my birthday and well we had a great time!! I have been to California a couple of times, but I had never visited San Francisco, all I can say is wow!! I love how nice the people are and how cool the weather is over there, nothing compared to the hot and humid Miami weather, supposedly it is like that all year round! I can not even imagine that! Anyhow I highly recommend that if you get an opportunity to visit that you do so, it's so beautiful and I am now having thoughts of some day moving out there. My recommendations for those planning to visit is spend at least 5 days there, go to all the museums get on the double decker bus tour and definitely definitely go to wine country!!!

Here are some pics from our trip, we took a little over 1,500 pictures!

Me climbing up Lombard Street, it's a lot steeper than it looks in the pic.

Lunch at Fisherman's Wharf...Yummy Clam Chowder!

Sea lions on Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf

Aquarium by the Bay on Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf

San Francisco City Hall has nothing on Hialeah's City Hall...lol
It took 3.5 million dollars to build this City Hall and is taller than the nations capital building!

The Painted Ladies
better known as the
Full House Sitcom House
Its actually the Blue house

The Palace of Fine Arts


Union Square


The Golden Gate Bridge
