Holiday 2009 Wrap-up

My Dad and sister joined us in San Francisco for the holidays this year. Eric and I had a blast exploring the city with my family for the week, (with the exception of Pier 39… I had forgotten what a madhouse that place is).

Here’s a pretty extensive list of the things we saw, places we visited, and spots where we dined. My father-in-law is coming out in February, and we’re hoping to hit a few of these spots again, and add some new ones to the list.

Holidays in San Francisco, 2009:

Alamo Square · Harry Street Stairs · The Front Porch · Chinatown · Union Square · Coit Tower · Filbert Street Steps · Fort Point · Marin Headlands · Muir Woods · Biking on the Embarcadero and all over town · South Beach Cafe · LoveJoy’s Tea Room · Higher Grounds Coffee · Henry’s Hunan · Mission Dolores Park · Toast Eatery on 24th · Glen Canyon Park · Mitchell’s Ice Cream · Panta Rei · Pier 39 · Scooter rides and Beetle rides around the city · Geocaching in Noe Valley, Diamond Heights, and Billy Goat Hill Park · The Little Chihuahua · 24th Street shops in Noe Valley

I held off on publishing this because I wanted to add some of my lomographs from the holidays, but I have yet to get my film developed… and if I wait until it gets done, I’ll be posting this in 2012. Alas, I will use some crappy iPhone snaps until I can refresh this later on.

    Great job, Amanda! I will look forward to seeing those "new" places with your mother (hopefully) next fall!
  • Great "trip advisor" post! We will watch for more!
