Day three started with a walk from our hotel to Jane The Bakery. Talk about delicious baked goods. Jane, you did not disappoint. It is a good thing you don't have a shop in Houston, Texas.
Next up? Lombard Street. It was just what you would expect, steep and curvy. :)
Lunch on Sunday was at Park Tavern. This was the second reservation that the company had set for us. Fun atmosphere and yummy food, although our server was having an off day. By the end we just had to laugh. No big deal. We all have our days of stress and confusion!
When we learned the Giants would be playing the Rangers on Sunday afternoon, we snagged tickets for $24. Fun time! Our seats were in the sun and while it was only 68 degrees, we were sweating to death. I felt awful even complaining since we are from HOUSTON and all. In San Fran one minute you are freezing and the next you are hot.
Dinner Sunday night was at Nopa. Our favorite eating experience of the trip (wait, have I said that already??)! Seriously, it was such a fun atmosphere and the food was out of this world. If you click on their link above, you can see where we were sitting - upstairs in the far right corner. It was so fun to people watch from above and not to mention the hustling of chefs in the kitchen.
Goat cheese spread on crusty bread. I would eat this daily. There is a fancier name for "crusty bread" but I can't remember so just go with it.
Nopa is famous for their pork chop, so of course Brandon had to try it. Did not disappoint!
I ordered a small plate of brisket. Yep, just meat with corn salsa on top. It was amazing.
After dinner we decided to walk back to see The Pained Ladies one more time. You can't tell from this picture, but this road is very, very steep.
I ran the whole way up and about passed out once I made it to the top-ish. :)

From there, bowling! Brandon researched and found a six lane blowing alley that is 21 and up in the evenings. It was so nice and even with others there, we felt like we had the place to ourselves! A great end to another great day.
I woke up Monday already having withdrawals, since I knew later that day we would be boarding a plane back home. Since you don't get fancy breakfasts everyday, we had to make the most of our time! We found a local crepery but opted to share the french toast instead.
Coffee again because, duh.
View from our hotel. Had to document.
We spend the morning back at The Hayes Valley Neighborhood (where we had the food tour on day one) browsing the shops that we didn't get to explore on Friday. Lots of cute boutiques!
Lunch was at Souvla (as if we really needed more food at this point), which was actually Pack Up + Go's top choice for Mediterranean food in the area. Incredible!
After lunch, we headed back to the hotel to grab our bags and catch an Uber to the airport. What a fun trip! I will be forever grateful for the time away with Brandon and to both sides of our family that cared for the girls in our absence.
We have zero complaints about our experience with this company. Food recommendations, hotel, suggested activities, it was all incredible. They literally do most of the work for you!
We hope to do it again in the future.
If you are feeling adventurous or a little edgy, give it a try
(and then let me know where you end up)!
