San Francisco Getaway - Day Two

Every great breakfast spot has a line out the door (that's Mark waiting patiently in line)! We started our day off at Mama's in North Beach! This place has been around for almost 50 years. Mama's dungeness crab benedict,the french toast sampler, and fresh squeezed orange juice was sooo good. Thanks Rachel Ray for the recommendation (love her:-)

I've got Coit Tower in the palm of my hand!
The view from Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill! That is Lombard Street (San Francisco's "crookedest" street) off in the distance.
The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline!





Mark holding up Coit Tower!




San Francisco Chinatown - The largest Chinatown outside of Asia.







Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory! This placed smelled so yummy. We had to pay 50 cents to have this picture taken! LOL! It was cool to see fortune cookies being made right in front of us.







Eating a hot,fresh egg custard tart in Chinatown at the Golden Gate Bakery, Inc.! This bakery is awesome:-)








AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants! Mark is a "Ballpark Chaser" and has a life-goal of visiting all the MLB ballparks.








Of course we had to do the AT&T ballpark tour. This is Mark in the Giants press room.










The Bay view from inside AT&T park is breathtaking!










After watching Man v. Food (we love this show) v. Ike's Place, we knew we had to go to the Castro neighborhood and experience Ike's Place for ourselves! This place hands down has the best sandwiches in the world!!! Ike's dirty sauce is what makes these sandwiches so yummy! My mouth is watering just thinking of this place.





Our second day in San Francisco was amazing! Mark and I always have such a blast together while on vacation and this trip was no different! We loved walking the streets of San Francisco and seeing all the places we have heard and read about. We enjoyed the nice and cool weather, although it was quite a shock to our body! We ate and snacked at some of the best local food joints in San Francisco! We simply fell in love with San Francisco.

San Fransico is so fun! My grandparents live about an hour away so we always visit when we visit them. Did you go up Coit Tower? We had a really funny tour guide when we did.
