A Day of Exploration

My daughter and I decided to hike Lands End together. It was a foggy, cool morning but, frankly, perfect since there were plenty of stairs on the trail to warm us up. We hiked down to the Sutro Baths, which have a pretty interesting history. We then walked the well-groomed trail along the ocean cliffs. It made for a beautiful way to start our Saturday morning.

We then drove to a popular bakery in Inner Richmond but the line was entirely too long! We pivoted to Cole Valley for lunch and found a great Middle Eastern restaurant. As a bonus, Pete found a pet store and besides the free treats he garnered, he got a chew bone, peanut butter treats and a new water bowl.

After lunch we drove to Twin Peaks. I navigated us to the correct parking area called Christmas Tree Point. The views were stunning with a 360 degree view of the city and surrounding area. Next up-Alamo Square and the Painted Ladies. It was the perfect day to sit in the park and just people watch and Pete took a well-deserved dog nap.

The final lap of the day was spent at Hayes Valley where we walked the shops and got ice cream (Salt and Straw nonetheless!). San Francisco is truly beautiful with so many diverse neighborhoods, tons of enchanting parks and a wonderful array of restaurants.
