24 Hours in San Francisco

As I mentioned in my last post, my husband and I enjoyed our honeymoon in northern California.  Since we wanted to spend most of our time north of San Francisco, we only had one day to explore the city so we made it a point to do and see the major tourist attractions.

Our first morning in San Francisco started off nice and sunny with blue skies.  Perfect for some Golden Gate Bridge viewing along the bike trail.  However, don't you worry, the infamous San Francisco fog rolled in. We biked across the bridge and up to Battery Spencer on Fort Baker on the Marin Head
