The Tri Valley Area
This website will give you a great start to places that you definitely want to see while in town! Check it out!
Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is a 1.7 mile-long suspension bridge that can be crossed by car, on bicycles or on foot. It is an absolutely stunning view.
The bridge was built during the Great Depression and was knowns as "the bridge that couldn't be built" as those who constructed it had to battle foggy weather, 60-mile-per-hour winds, and strong ocean currents, which whipped through a deep canyon below them.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a must see when you travel to San Francisco.
Fisherman's Wharf
A great place to walk around and see the mouth watering seafood markets in the city! You will see many street performers from break dancers to robots! They're quite entertaining!!! Be sure to look for the sea lions at the nearby Pier 39. They are absolutely adorable and make for a great photo!
Shopping at Union Square
You will not know where to start when you go shopping at Union Square! There are many great places to go, including a Nike Town with several floors! Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and have fun shopping!!!
China Town
Another great spot in the city is China Town. If you go to the city for shopping in Union Square, China Town is a great place to stop and take a lunch break! There are many great restaurants and plenty of souvenirs to take home with you!
Palace of Fine Arts

A Ride on one of San Francisco's Electric Cars
You can't visit San Francisco and miss a ride on one of their world famous electric cars! We don't know about Rice a Roni, but the electric cars are definitely a San Francisco treat! You can catch a ride from several places around the city and tour downtown San Francisco. See you at Powell & Hyde and we'll tour the city together!
Alcatraz Island
Also known as the Rock, this federal prison is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Bay Area. Once a fully operating penitentiary for the most notorious criminals like Al Capone, there are rumors that this deserted prison is now haunted. Is it really? There's only one way for you to find out! :)
