San Francisco stole my heart all over again. I stayed at 1 Hotel San Francisco and splurged on a room with a view.
Over three incredible days, I packed in everything I love about this city: walking through the Ferry Building, riding streetcars, eating fresh crab, visiting old neighborhoods, and soaking up that impeccable weather.
Here’s how I spent every perfect moment.

Day 1
I walked through the Ferry Building and down the Embarcadero, then took a streetcar to Fisherman’s Wharf. I spent a lot of time at Musée Mécanique, ate some crab (it’s crab season!), and went on a ride on the new Ferris wheel. I took a self-driving car to the new Tunnel Top Park.
Lunch was at Dalida, then I headed to the Mission to visit our old neighborhood. I had a little picnic at Dolores Park with friends to give everyone a quick hug. Thanks to everyone for coming out!
Day 2
I woke up early to go to the Farmers Market and fill my suitcase with citrus. I went across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito to try the sauna where you can jump in the Bay at Fjord Feel, then went to lunch at Fish Restaurant.
I went back to the Mission to visit our old favorite places at Garden Creamery and got a Thai massage at my favorite place, La Nee. Then I had an incredible dinner at The Anchovy Bar for my birthday.
Day 3
I got pastries at Loquat then walked around Hayes Valley. I stopped by the Seward Street slides and headed to the Richmond to visit shops like our favorite, Parklife. I went to the Academy of Science (the kids have so many memories of being dragged there when they were tiny). Then we rented bikes and rode to Ocean Beach.

Love You, SF
I wish we had another week. It didn’t hurt that the weather was impeccable every day.
These three days reminded me why San Francisco will always feel like home. From the fresh citrus at the Farmers Market to the salty air at Ocean Beach, every moment brought back beautiful memories and created new ones.
If you’re planning a trip to San Francisco, don’t rush it. Take time to wander, eat well, and soak it all in. Love you, SF. ❤️
