17) Going San Francisco!

Hey Everyone!

Todays post is going to be about my family weekend away at San Francisco! We left on Saturday and came back on the Monday, and I think it's safe to say I fell completely head over heels in love with the city, i forgot how much i loved cities just from this trip.

Disclaimer: This is a super long post! 


SUNDAY
We spent our first full day (Sunday) exploring the city on an open air tour bus! This showed all the major attractions and also offered the chance to hop on and off which was pretty awesome. 








I think its safe to say that the highlights was definitely the Golden Gate! We jumped off here and got some pictures :) 





Above is pictures of me my sister my brother and my dad :) The actual bridge itself is breathtaking and really cold to drive across. :') 

Half way through the tour we decided to jump off and go to the Mrs Doubtfire house. As kids, me and my siblings watched this film SO many times, so were super heartbroken when Robin Williams died, therefore we had to visit Steiner street and see the house where it was filmed! 






Outside of the house by the trees there were a bunch of stones, and on every stone was a message to Robin as well as along the pavement. A lot of them were really touching but these were my favourite two! 

SUNDAY

Sunday morning we decided to have a walk around to see a few of the famous landmarks of San Fran, however we came across a tram, and because we hadn't had the chance to go on one we decided to jump on the side of one to grab some pictures!




During the day on Sunday, we decided to visit Alcatraz, i genuinely knew nothing about it but have always been interested in criminology and the like, so was pretty excited to go, and I can safely say it didn't disappoint. A lot of it was super interesting and I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone who visits the San Fran area.











We got a audio guided tour which came included, and was able to see everything in about 3 to 4 hours. The prison itself is huge, and there are lots of signs and posters everywhere explaining all the different things that happened within the prison. 

So, there we have it, here was just a short snippet of my time with my family whilst they flew out to Cali to visit. I hope you can appreciate that a lot of the photos I have kept to myself, but it's safe to say i was so happy to see them and i'm so glad i got to see them and explore a new city with them. If you're reading this, i love you all and thank you for visiting me :) I had a blast!
