My Last Weekend in SF - Sunday in Oakland

I explored Oakland since I really wanted to drive over the Bay Bridge.  I've become obsessed with it after seeing it at night.  It was such a great decision to explore outside San Francisco, I got to enjoy a really nice hike and some incredible views.

Highlights:

  • Hiking at Joaquin Miller Park: Such a pretty trail and you get a wonderful lookout point 
  • Grizzly Peak Vista Point: The scenes were like a postcard, you could see everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Bay Bridge
  • Treasure Island: Its a former military base off the Bay Bridge. I got some food and sat near the rocks and enjoyed the scenery

KP - lol, I'll send some food pictures, but I'm really enjoying all the views and scenes. Food has been great overall too. I got to eat such a variety of food while in SF: Mexican, Italian, Burmese, Indian... I loved it all.

Thanks Rosa, completely agree. It made all the hiking up worth it, just to see the beautiful views. I got lucky and had really clear days too with no fog.

San Francisco Final Thoughts (1/5/21 - 2/12/21)

Image
I'm at the airport on the way to my next destination, thinking about the amazing time I had in San Francisco.   Livability for me: 99%, it loses 1% because its so damn expensive, feels even a bit more expensive than NYC to me.  I'm sure I'll be back and could easily see myself making it a permanent home. Off to destination #2 now! A few final San Francisco pictures that didn’t make it in the other posts. Grace Cathedral Palace of Fine Arts Final visit to the Marina area to see the Golden Gate Bridge

Road trippin' to Seattle

I decided driving would make the most sense for Portland to Seattle since I can make stops along the way and take my time.  Its only about a 3 hour drive, and I love long drives like that.  My goal was to leave in the am and reach Seattle before the car rental place closed so I didn't need to deal with parking.  I'm so thankful I drove, I was able to see some really nice sites that I wouldn't have stopped at otherwise.   Highlights:  Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge - Such a cool spot to stop and I'm really happy I came.  You can hike and walk around here in the summer.  During the winter you can take a car around the refuge and do tours.  There are all these different birds and nature sounds.  Lots of people with professional cameras were taking pictures.  I was able to see some really different birds and deer roaming around.  It was a really beautiful place to see and a recommended stop between Portland and Seattle.
