It's cold here

So our first day here in San Francisco was pretty busy. First we had to get to our hotel, which we decided to take the BART system, or subway, to get to downtown San Fran and then walk the block to our hotel. We checked in and unloaded our luggage in our room and headed out for some lunch and sightseeing. The restaurant we stopped at was called 'wichcraft, which was pretty unique. Our first stop was Union Square and of course BreAnn had to do some shopping at Forever 21. Later we stopped at the Modern Art Museum with our city pass that we purchased. Let's just say modern art isn't my thing. After being completely dumbfounded and feeling a little weirded out we decided to venture out to Fisherman's wharf by taking the F line through the city. We stopped by Pier 39 to see the sea lions and walked up the boardwalk past all the specialty stores and shops. For dinner we kept walking along the bay to McCormick and Kuleto's in Ghiradelli Square for some seafood and a view of the bay at sunset. With dinner we tried what was called a "white flight", which consisted of 3 different glasses of white wine ranging more full-bodied to more fruity. After dinner we were starting to feel the drag of our long day and the extra 3 hours, not to mention getting up at 3am, and decided to head back to the hotel. Well that sort of sums up our first day here, I've added some pictures I took.
