If you're going to San Francisco... ~ Sutro Baths

As the plane hovered over San Francisco I felt a familiar heart tug that I always get whenever I go back to the island... the sheer joy of coming home.

First day back in San Francisco and the sun happily shone down on us. Drove down to the Sutro Baths where we enjoyed the breathtaking sight of the Pacific. We took a short hike through cliff-lodged cypress trees, got a view of the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge and spent time enviously watching surfers catching some fierce waves.

It's so good to be back!

Blue skies!
Cliff-lodged cypress trees
What a beauty

Lovely day to be out.

These sun worshipers found a cozy spot

Tales from the East Coast (part 4)

We could not leave Florida without stopping by at the Harry Potter Wizarding World! Yes people, we're self-confessed Potterheads, and ever since Universal Studios opened their new theme park, we've been itching to go.

You see I've always wanted to go to Hogwarts. I mean seriously go to school in Hogwarts. I guess this is as close as it gets. Stepping inside Hogwarts Castle was such an experience, with all the moving and talking paintings of the original headmasters. Most enjoyable was the wand selection at Ollivanders. But the best part of all was drinking butterbeer. It's the creamiest, yummiest beer in the world!
 
Hogsmeade!!!
All aboard!
Honeydukes for the witches & wizards' sweet cravings.
Every Flavour Beans!
The best beer in the world!!!
A belly full of Butterbeer
Got beer?
 Now that concludes our East Coast urban adventures. San Francisco, here we come!
