San Francisco: Painted Ladies, Lands End Lookout & The Golden Gate Bridge

If you’ve watched just one episode of Full House, you know why I was so excited to finally be able to see the Painted Ladies in person. Sometimes when I’m very excited about something, I find that when the time comes I’m underwhelmed. And I did think that, that would be the case when I finally was able to see the Painted Ladies. But it was the total opposite. I don’t know if it was because of the gorgeous blue skies, the incredibly perfect weather or maybe the fact that it was not crowded, but I felt exactly as I thought I would. Incredibly happy and excited to see something that I’ve been hoping to see since I was a little girl.

We couldn't help ourselves :)

When we were planning our trip, I initially thought that we would do a little picnic on the grass while staring at the Painted Ladies, but that did not happen. Instead, we took as many pictures (and selfies, lol!) as my heart desired and then afterwards we drove to Beachside Coffee Bar and Kitchen for brunch. Beachside Coffee Bar and Kitchen came on our radar due to the recommendation of a blog friend (who lives in Oakland) whom I've "known" for over six years and was finally able to meet!

Beachside Coffee Bar and Kitchen is a rather small restaurant but what it lacks in size it completely makes up for with incredibly delicious dishes. We choose to eat outside because of the great weather and to be honest, I'm so glad we ate outside with any chance we got while in San Francisco because our weather at home has been frightful! Moving on, I ordered chicken with waffles and a salted caramel latte that was so incredibly good! Sean ordered a egg dish (not pictured) which he raved about as well.

After we ate, we headed to Ocean Beach to check it out for a little bit as it was so close to the restaurant.

Afterwards, we headed to Lands End Lookout and this is where I fell even more in love with San Francisco. The views, the views, the views! If we lived here all we would do is walk the trails with our dogs and just revel in all the beauty. There were seriously stunning views at every turn! It was hard to keep my mouth off the floor because I don't think I have ever seen anything like it.

I'm sad to say that these pictures do it absolutely NO justice!

After Lands End Lookout, we went to the Golden Gate Bridge. Now this is something we've both wanted to see and it was so, so awesome to see it up close. This was another experience that I was happy did not underwhelm me at all.

After the Golden Gate Bridge we went back to Ocean Beach but since this is already a pretty long post, I will continue this day in a future post! Happy Thursday all and truly, thanks for reading! ♥
