San Francisco Weekend getaway

April 26-27, 2008 - It was Darwin's mom's birthday so it's more of a family weekend thingie. We left LA at 6ish am and arrived at around 1pm.. just in time for lunch. Since everyone is craving for Pinoy food, we ate at Ongpin restaurant in Daly City. We then went to Twin Peaks to kick-off the tour. Feeling turista kme! The view at the Twin Peaks is just perfect! It's hard to find this tourist spot and houses are built at the hillside so we thought we already got lost. We cant rely on our GPS since it isn't updated, so we have to use the iPhone to get the address then enter it to GPS to get the route =P Next stop.. Golden Gate bridge... this is only my 2nd time crossing it. I just love taking pictures of the bridge..We then drove towards Lombard Street to check out the crookedest street in the world! It's my first time! We then headed to Fisherman's wharf since everybody is hungry. Parking fee is expensive in the city so we have to look for a restaurant that validates parking. We end up at Cafe 8 and I had Frisco's famous clam chowder soup! Bought souvenir then went home. It was a looooong day!

Wake up call is at 8am. Arrgh! that's too early for me.. but I was able to get up just on time =P Took a shower then went to Wamu to get some moolah! We then went to Alamo square to check out the Victorian houses. I'm so fascinated by Victorian house.. I dunno, it's my dream house maybe =P Took more pictures. We're supposed to go to Union Square to check out the mall and do some shopping but the oldies were already hungry (since we missed breakfast) so we just decided to have brunch at Goldilocks. We accidentally passed thru Chinatown and what do you expect?!... traffic!

Back to Lalaland at 8pm. Good thing I was off from work the next day!
