I am so excited for this trip, so and since we finally got a lot of it planned out I thought I'd share the itinerary with you.
Satuday: Wait for my check to come in the mail, and leave (hopefully around 1pm) driving straight through to Sacramento. We got a cheap hotel room there so we can crash and shower in the morning before heading into San Francisco.
Sunday & Monday: Head on into San Francsico. Spending two nights in a Hostel there.
Things we plan to do (and eat) in San Francsico:
Sadly no alcatraz, we didn't get tickets early enough... :(
- We're going to hang out with Josh's friend Mike who lives there.
- Visit Chinatown and eat real Chinese food.
- Visit Japantown and eat authentic Japanese food.
- Head on down and play on the Warf.
- Eat real San Francisco Clam Chowder in a SourDough bowl.
- Visit Boudine's Bakery.

Wednesday: Still driving the coast, enjoying the sites and camping.
Thursday: Porland!
Here's what we plan to do in Portland:
- Eat at Voodoo Donuts!
- See the Shanghai Tunnels
- Eat at Apizza Scholls (as seen on No Reservations)
Friday & Saturday: Into Seattle where we got another really awesome Hostel right in downtown!
Things we want to see in Seattle:
- Pikes Place Market
- Salumi
- Visit the lovely Beth!
- Ferry Boats!
We're always open to more suggestions though! :)
Can it be Saturday now?


I adored SF when we went last year. You'll have so much fun.
ReplyDeletePortland is on my list of cities to visit. Take lots of pictures so we know where to go when we visit. =)
Sounds like fun! San Francisco is one place I have not been.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing trip!! Have a blast! San Francisco is near and dear to my heart. I used to work right by the SF airport. I would eat my lunch looking over the bay. Enjoy that clam chowder for me! Oh I miss it there. You are going to have so much fun! I can't wait to hear all about it. When you eat that donut will you think of Paul for me? Hahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! You are making me want VooDoo so bad. We live just outside of Portland (you'll be driving right past me, in fact) and it takes like an hour to get VooDoo. We don't go to the one downtown, but the 2nd location that has a parking lot and less homeless people bugging you in line. Anyway, it just takes forever to get there and back, but now I really want a bacon maple bar.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the tunnels? We've lived here for a year, and I haven't heard of these.
In Seattle, you should do the underground. I think there is a way in from Pike's. But it's been awhile and I can't remember. I've never done the Seattle underground, but I hear it's awesome.
Have fun! And safe travels!
I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletesounds fabulous, i think i need to go to SF one day x
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you! I keep trying to get Cody to take me to San Francisco. Some day!

ReplyDeletesince i live in seattle, you should go to gasworks park, the gum wall down at pike place is a must. you should go to teh pirate store on the waterfront as all as ye ole curiosity shop. walk around seattle center at the fountain is a great thing too.
