Hello Blog Pals,
A few days ago I posted about snooping around the house and sneaking into my roommates bag. Once inside I fell asleep and when I woke up I found out I was in San Francisco California! Snooping and sneaking around really pays off.

Once we got settled in our hotel room and unpacked we all
headed out for an adventure.
Surprisingly my roommates weren’t too upset with me for sneaking around,
of course my half yearly annual review of them is coming up soon so perhaps
that had something to do with their cheery attitude.
This trip we were very reliant on public transportation and our feet. Our first destination was the Mission District. Before we could go there our street car let us off in front of the US Mint. We didn’t go in and ask for any free samples (I am sure that happens way too much) but I did get my picture snapped in front of it. They have lots of fences around the building (kind of makes sense when you think about it).
Along our way to the Mission District we passed
the Old Mission Delores and an awesome park with great views of the downtown
area.
The Mission District is known for their street
art and murals. I don’t know why but we
don’t have any pictures of the murals but if Beanie is ever to visit San
Francisco this is the area to go. There
were full alleys painted with murals and you could watch the artists creating
new ones as well. The Mission District
has some great dining options.
After our adventures in the Mission we decided
to head back and rest a bit. Before we
knew it, it was time for dinner. Where
are we going? Denny’s? McDonald’s?
Taco Bell (oh wait we had Mexican food already today). No, we’re off to the Fairmont. A beary fancy hotel.
We didn’t eat in the fancy (and expensive) lobby
restaurant but instead we went to the Tiki Bar. Apparently, they transformed their swimming pool into a Tiki Bar
(complete with indoor rain storms every 15 minutes).
My dinner of chicken wings, egg rolls (not sure
how Polynesian those are) and cilantro noodle salad was beary good. Of course I had to round out my dinner with
a fancy island drink (Mai Tai). Well,
it was a beary long day but certainly worth it, San Francisco has so much for a
little fox to do I wonder what is on tap for the next few days??????
What an excellent day out!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you would have loved all the public art.
DeleteHi, Little Fox!!!
ReplyDeleteDelighted to Know that you and your Human are in San Francisco! It is one of my Dad's 'Most Favorite' Cities in North America.
If you and your Human are Able to do so––– Do Rent a Bike and Go Over the Golden Gate Bridge to the Hills on the Other Side. So Nice!!
Have a Super FUN Vacation, Little Fox! BTW, the Cable Car Museum is Great and Informative and China Town is Fun... and the Golden Gate Park has a Glass House that is a TWIN to the one in Richmond, England, in your Buddy, Beanie's Neck of the Woods. And Do Visit Fisherman's Wharf and the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory and... and... and...!!!
Thanks, actually your ideas are beary similar to my itinerary. I haven't met anyone who doesn't like San Francisco.
DeleteGreat photos! We've been to San Francisco too, and it is beary beautiful! Glad you are enjoying your stay!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I remember you two went there last year, right?
DeleteDid you slide down that long bannister? I have not been to San FranFISHco before but my mom has. Another place I will have to visit later...
ReplyDeleteThere was no sliding down the banister but that's a great idea. I will have to give that a try next time.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Mama says she lived in SF for a year. Tonnes of things to see and do. Alcatraz is well worth a visit. And Fisherman's Wharf has mega-pretzels to die for. Of course there is the Botanical Garden, and the Presidio, and the beach out at the end of J Line (I think)... the Zoo was kind of cool too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we have been to lots of those places but we didn't get to the beach (would still like to do that some day).
