Day 70, April 29th

Friday morning we woke up bright and early to head to San Francisco.  Our friends Alex and Heather were getting hitched so we were going to celebrate the weekend with them.  We were on the same flight heading out with them so we enjoyed the morning flight with the soon to be newlyweds, and thanks to some drink tickets, free drinks!! 
Once we landed in San Fran we left A&H to go get their marriage license and do other wedding stuff.  We headed to Fisherman's Wharf for some lunch and the Alcatraz tour.  
I loved the Alcatraz tour!! It was so interesting, and so crazy to think about all these people once living there! Either way, it solidified my desire to never go to jail...ever.  
After we escaped jail, we wandered around a bit more then went off to check into our hotel.  Upon checking in, we checked out, as in we took a lovely little napa...haha get it?! 
We woke up refreshed and ready to celebrate with our respected parties for the night.
We headed to The Top of the Mark for drinks with the entire crew.  It's a really beautiful place, with views of the entire city.
After we had a couple drinks, we split up the girls and boys up and went our separate ways.  The ladies went to this cute restaurant Home for some food and more drinks.  We had a good time chatting, and for me getting to know the other ladies since I only knew Heather! After dinner the ladies hit the town, but with none of us knowing the said town we were in, we walked a bit out of our comfort zone and into an area locals call, The Tenderloin District, once we realized that's not where we should be, we hopped in a cab and headed back to Top of the Mark.  After the bar closed, we all headed back to our hotels to get some sleep for the big wedding day!!

  1. Wow, that restaurant looks super fancy and nice!

    It's a shame the Tenderloin (isn't that a steak?) wasn't your cup of tea... I feel like loads of drug dealers, addicts, prostitutes and mentally unstable street people would be right up your alley?! No ?

    Honestly, to me after reading that, sounds like a total blast. Is that so wrong? haha
