my love for all things SF...including danny tanner.

Well, what would a weekend mini-break to San Francisco be without driving by the Full House house?! Don't front, you know you wish you got to see where Uncle Joey lived.

Last Friday Ben and I, along with our friends Mike & Melinda, flew off to SF to be with our other friend Len for the weekend. It was a weekend trip discussed before Len was even seconded to SF for 6 months and eventually, planned and booked.

Our much owed and overdue family portrait for Len's picture frame (that we got him for his birthday...last year. :|)

Even though this wasn't my first time in SF, since the other 3 have never been before, I got to fall in love with SF all over again through their eyes. Plus! The great thing about having your own local tour guide is you get to visit those pocket neighbourhoods you wouldn't have found otherwise and eat a lot of yummy SF food (ahem...like In & Out burger that I requested in homage to Si and Almonds! YUM!).

Had to include this one little shout out to our TT awe!

By Brina & Rod's recommendation from their visit last year, we went into Golden Gate Park and walked around the beautiful Japanese Tea Gardens. We also checked out the Asian Art Museum and in hindsight, wished we did more than take pictures of the M.H. de Young Memorial Building.

Sunday we drove out to Sausalito for a gorgeous brunch on one of their many patios over looking the city, as well Len took us up this crazy mountainside that gave us some pretty awesome golden gate bridge photos.

The classic SF postcard shot. Jealous much?

Of course we all wished we had an extra day (or five) in the city to check out the tons of other things we wanted to do on our list but, for the short amount of time we had in the city, it was planned oh-so-perfectly.

Until next time, San Francisco...
