Surprise Date. Off to San Francisco!

Oh my goodness, where do I even start? Prepare yourselves because this post is going to be HUGE! Scott told me we were going on a date after class around 1 pm. He wouldn't tell me where we were going. Finally, when I was in the car he said "We are going to Idaho Falls". I'm thinking we are just going to have lunch there or something. Well.. he said "I need to stop at the airport to meet my flight instructor and purchase this new book". Since he started taking lessons to get his private pilot license  I'm assuming that's why we are going there... He asked: "Do you want to come meet my instructor or stay in the car?" I said: "Oh, I'll come meet him." He opened the trunk in his car and I saw a carry-on. He started laughing and I said "Wait.. what? Are we going somewhere?". (In my head I'm thinking maybe his instructor will fly us to Jackson or something). He replied "YES WE ARE!". At this moment I'm begging him to tell me where. When we are waiting in line he finally said: "We are going to SAN FRANCISCO!!!" I couldn't believe it! He had planned this for months and I had NO idea!!!!! I was so excited!!!!!

We arrive in Okland, check-in into our hotel and walked around to see the city.

 We were also super hungry and we decided to eat at a local Peruvian restaurant.

Ceviche was amazing!!!

Lomo Saltado.

 The next day we did so many cool things! Scott and I we love to travel. Whenever we travel we like to experience the city like someone that would live there. We love learning about new cultures and going to different places. So we took the subway and we walked a lot and also took the buses. By doing that we met so many people along the way, it's so great!

 We love local flea markets and fairs.

 Gorgeous flowers.

Wohoo baby, we are in San Fran! We walked around Pier 39.

 We kept seeing these people ring a bell. Scott was like "Let's do it!!"

Look at my beautiful baby pearl!

 We ended up putting into a beautiful yellow gold necklace that I have worn since then!

 We also went to China Town!!!

 This old man right next to Scott we met at a bus, he told us to follow him he would show us China town as a local and as a tourist. He also recommended us to a really local restaurant with great chinese food.

 

 

We also walked around the financial district.

 Our amazing dinner at an Italian place called Vicoletto Ristorante

Burrata was magnificent!

 To end our night we stopped at Ghirardelli had a hot chocolate and a brownie sunday, walked around Ghirardelli Square, listened to live music and enjoyed our evening together.

 We also got a water massage! It was my first time.

 We also went to the famous Aquarium of the Bay

 After the Aquarium we went on the Rocketboat!

After: SUPER SOAKED!
After our tour we ate some Ben & Jerry's Ice cream and walked around the piers.

 

  Let's go to Little Italy to get some lunch at Calzone's Pizza Cucina

 

 

Fishermans Wharf of San Francisco.

 After walking around we decided to rent a GOCar Tour. It was crazy a little bit scary but a lot of fun! Go Car is a GPS guided tour.
