My first trip to San Francisco was right after Gustavo and I met in the Summer of 2009. It was going to be a true test of our relationship by being the first time traveling together and being stuck in a car for 5.5 hours. The drive up was great though. We left after work on a Friday and we talked the whole time and it allowed us to really get to know each other and learn a lot about each other.
San Francisco though was amazing. We hit all the major tourist spots in one day since that was all the time we had in the city. We did the Golden Gate Bridge, Castro, Golden Gate Park, Coit Tower, Downtown, Fisherman's Wharf, etc. It was just a quick weekend get-away for us so now when we go back we will have a better understanding of where we want to spend more time.
One the way back we too PCH home which took forever but the scenary was amazing and we just had a great time together. If we saw something we wanted to see we would stop and take pictures. We stopped into Monterey at the visitors center and asked for local information and also information on Big Sur. The guy who worked there was like, oh you need to get on the road and get out of town. It is going to get dark. Yeah it always does, it is called NIGHTTIME. REMINDER: It was around 1pm at this point of the day so we found it odd. This couple came in behind us and he told them, of go down to the wharf and get some food. They have lots of shops and restaurants there. He never told us about that he kicked us out of town.
We did the drive south and Big Sur was amazing. We got there around dusk and you can see in the pictures below how gorgeous the waterfalls were there. It was just a great time even though we got home at like 2am or something and had to work the next day.

The ever amazing Golden Gate Bridge
Lombard Street - No idea why you would actually want to live on this road.
One of the water falls at dusk in Big Sur
The same waterfall/cove in Big Sur but at a different angle.
This was another waterfall in Big Sur. You had to hike a little ways down this trail and up this mountain to find it but it was worth it. We went way off the path though to get next to the waterfall. Shhh don't tell.
