Wedding II: Elle and Zach in San Fran

This past weekend in San Francisco was one of the best weekends of my life! First, Elle, one of my college roommates, got married to Zach, a wonderful guy who makes her the happiest I've ever seen her. Second, Justin and I went on our first just-the-two-of-us vacation, which was a lot of fun and hopefully there will be more trips in the future once I have a paying job. Third, we explored a new city for both of us, and we did SO MUCH in four days.


We did almost everything on the map above...and it was amazing. We hit a couple great brewpubs/beer bars:
21st Amendment
Magnolia
Social Kitchen
Thirsty Bear
Toronado
Monk's Kettle


We spent hours wandering around Golden Gate Park and even saw bison! We rented bikes and pedaled across the Golden Gate Bridge, one of my favorite moments. We went to museums: SF Modern Museum of Art (half price tickets on Thursday nights), de Young Museum (20% off coupon online), which had a special Picasso exhibit, and a maritime museum with a free map exhibit. We enjoyed ice cream at the Ghiradelli factory and sampled dim sum and spring rolls at a food truck festival with over 30 vendors. We stayed in a beautiful hotel right next to the church and enjoyed cocktails on the 39th floor lounge overlooking the city. We were able to walk or bus everywhere, saving money for food, beer, and museums.
