A Trip to San Francisco
 |
| Tout Sweet
On the way out of lunch, we had to make a sneaky dessert stop to satisfy the sweet tooth. We came across this cute little shop called Tout Sweet. It was delicious and had a wide variety ( I went for the Vanilla Bean Macaroon, you can never go wrong with a macaroon).

Yes, this is what you think it is, something you only dream about. A banana split. No, it isn't a knock off banana split that you can get at Dairy Queen, but the real deal.
During the usual adventures in a hotel, we came across a fire escape. So of course we climbed it.

I was born in San Jose, and lived there until the ripe old age of 8. With a mom who loves "The City" and the drive being about 45 minutes, San Francisco was a popular weekend get a way. Therefore, we cut out a few touristy things such as Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 and Alcatraz. But if you're visiting San Francisco for the first time I would highly suggest doing these touristy stops.
If you are one of the hipster types or want to see the city like a local, it is an adventure in itself. Something I love to do is take a bike ride through the streets. It is a great way to see any city. Sure you can set up a plan, or go with a tour group, but it's way more memorable to just rent a bike and be spontaneous.
Of course one cannot leave any city without popping into a few shops. Union Square is the perfect destination for shopping without the mall experience. With its people buzzing and the sun shinning it's a ideal shopping location. If the heat gets to be too much, hit up the Westfield San Francisco Centre where there are numerous stores. And if you are more into vintage shopping Valencia St and the famous Haight Ashbury have plenty vintage stores.
San Francisco is a beautiful city and a must see city to add to your list of travel destinations.
Let me know what adventures you've been up to this summer!
