San Francisco

We traveled to San Francisco to visit Jess from May 26 to June 3 and had a great time! Click on the photo below to see the whole album:

IF

Amazingly, this was the first time we actually spent any quality time in SF itself. We have visited friends and relatives in the area, and during those times, we’ve made day trips to SF, but we’ve never had an extended stay or stayed in the city overnight. For this trip we stayed in an AirBnB rental, about 3 blocks from Jess. (He lives in a studio apartment 3 flights up with no elevator, so we got separate lodgings.)

A partial list of things we did while in SF included:

  • A city tour
  • Alcatraz
  • Dinner at some amazing restaurants
  • A dinner party at private home (through AirBnB)
  • A play
  • A drag show at the Starlight Room
  • Driving to Monterey and dinner on the pier

Here are some photos.

This was our first experience with AirBnB and the setup worked out great!  It was comfortable for us, convenient to get together with Jess and it allowed him to do his regular routines without entertaining us 24/7.  We were able to spend a lot of time with him, but we were able to do things independently, too. We plan to make trips to SF a regular thing.
