Going to San Francisco
Two weeks ago now the wife and I broke the bank and purchased our tickets and lodging to San Francisco in June/July. We’re going for one of my cousin’s weddings and I’m sure we will see all of the family that we have not seen in a few years…well actually it will be close to 6 years. WOW…that’s hard to believe.
Neither one of us have been to San Francisco before so I’m sure it will be an interesting experience. We are going to staying near Union Square at the Executive Hotel Vintage Court. From the website I kind of get the idea that it is a homely little place (Wife inserts: it looks fancy and it’s better than the Holiday Inn!). We have 2 things that are planned, besides the wedding. One of them is a tour of the city and the other, if the weather cooperates, we will be watching the million dollar fireworks show from the water.
Last week the wife went and picked up a little travel guide that I’m sure will make us look like real tourists, but it has some good information and a map for us to argue over! There were a couple of nightlife places that I wouldn’t mind checking out. First one being the Boom Boom Room. Get your minds out of the gutter. It’s a blues bar…or at least that’s the way it’s advertised. In addition I want to get out to Alcatraz and take the tour. Oh and I suppose I’ll hit the Golden Gate Bridge as well and see if I can take some pictures. Speaking of pictures my old man is taking pictures of the wedding so I’m sure I’ll probably get wrangled into helping out in some way!
If any of you have been to San Francisco let me know of what places to visit and what not to visit!
