Alamo Square

Sadly, the best way to describe this historic landmark is to say it's the park where the "Full House" family has their picnic in the intro of the show (one of La's favorite childhood shows).

Alcatraz Island

The Rock. For unruly guests.

Chinatown S.F.

City Lights Bookstore

The center of the Beat movement on the west coast. The surrounding North Beach area of the city has many cafes and Italian restaurants.

Exploratorium

Fun, hands-on Science Museum

Fairfax Scoop

The best ice cream in the Bay Area! I'm talking REAL ice cream. Beware, dieters. This place doesn't skimp on the good stuff. It's out of the way, but worth the trip. Their signature flavor, Vanilla Honey Lavender, always hits the spot.

Golden Gate Bridge

Marin Headlands

Breathtaking view of Golden Gate Bridge with Downtown San Francisco as its backdrop.

Mount Tamalpais State Park

360 degree view of the Bay Area from one of the tallest peaks in the area. Parking is available near the top and a short, moderate walk to the summit. Well worth it! For a virtual taste of the scenery: http://www.virtualparks.org/scenes/ZtUH7Fq2tMYT22A-ObyfVUg.html

Muir Beach

Beautiful place to watch the sunset. 10 min walk from Pelican Inn. This is where La and I will probably take post-ceremony pictures. There are firepits on the beach, as well as trails to hike (moderate to strenuous)/
