I finally got to enjoy my vacation! Went off to San Francisco, CA. I ate a lot, drank a lot, and played tourist. I live in a place where tourism is high from all over and I spend my time taking care of tourists in an up-scale restaurant here in Las Vega on the Strip. So it was very nice, weird, but very nice spending my time on the other end of the spectrum, enjoying myself.
Being a foodie and a mixed drink / beer lover, I can honestly say I didn't have one bad meal or drink. Ate out all over, tried new and different things and was just continuously blown away by the food!
My girlfriend and I even rode the Tandem (two seater bike). Awkward and and hard(ish) to balance with two people, it eventually became easy. We rode all the way from San Francisco to Sausalito, over the bridge. It was about a 7 mile trip, though going up and down hills was a tough one, thank gosh we're fit! Definitely was nice to get active as well. I usually hit the gym 4-5 days a week and we both had felt lazy after drinking and eating so much lol.
Anyways, we finally got to go to the place I really wanted to check out.. Academy of Sciences! Saw everything from the Rain Forrest, to the swamp, freshwater fish, land animals, snakes, bugs... Cool... Then we got to the 200,000 reef... WOW!!! I was just in love. My poor girlfriend had to hear me blab about all the different kind of species and inhabitants in the reef tanks. I was just in heaven!! It seriously made me went to order a large tank right there and then and get started lol. So enough of my talking and more of the pictures I got. If you notice, these are only the aquarium pictures. The rest weren't as interesting....
