Flying from Guadalajara to San Jose California<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week, we went on a fabulous weekend trip to the Bay Area in California. Our flight with Volaris was acceptable and uneventful (so uneventful, in fact, that on a 4 hour int’l flight we didn’t get any meal). But we were happy to have a direct flight, so we picked up our Nissan Cube and made our way to Sunnyvale\/Cupertino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got off the highway, driving by Apple offices and content to be surrounded by some of our favorites: Peet’s, Targe\u00e9 and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stanford Campus Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The day was a rainy one, so we decided to forgo the big city tour, for a short visit to the Stanford campus. Somehow, we found ourselves outside the art museum- the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts<\/a>, so we escaped the rain and enjoyed a quick visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the Stanford Campus:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By the time we were done, the rain had almost ceased and we got to walk around a little bit on campus, before heading back for the wedding Welcome Dinner and quality time with good friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exploring San Francisco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our second day in the Bay area was chilly but sunny, and so we headed to the big city- San Francisco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first mini stop, was at the “painted ladies” where the intro to Full House was filmed. You know: “what ever happened to predictability?”…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All four of us were pretty impressed by the “hilliness” of the city. To the point of it being a bit freaky driving down some of the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then we were off to our first big attraction- the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Golden Gate Bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Visiting the Golden Gate Bridge<\/a> definitely lived up to the expectations we had. It was really fun to drive up and finally see such an iconic bridge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I see it!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drove across and stopped for a bit on each side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco Water Front<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And then we were off to the waterfront, to see some ships on the piers, have a seafood lunch at Fisherman’s Warf<\/a>, swing by Ghirardelli<\/a> chocolate central, and oogle at the street cars and trolleys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A perfect San Francisco tourist tour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also made it to the wedding that evening, the reason behind our wonderful trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
