I'll be taking a business trip to San Francisco next week with some free time for sightseeing. Any suggestions on where I should go or what I should do?
check this out. very beautiful spot and you have to see the redwoods. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muir_Woods_National_Monument -A.J. p.s. grew up in bay area San Francisco is a beautiful city one of my favorite places.
Do you like to shop? I could spend days (and thousands of dollars, if I had it) at Union Square. Every brand you can think of, from Old Navy to Armani, all within a few city blocks.
It might be a bit cliche, but I really love Fisherman's Wharf--perhaps precisely because of the tourist-y atmosphere.
Chinatown can be a lot of fun too.
We didn't make it to the top of Coit Tower on telegraph hill, but I hear it's a gorgeous view of the entire city and bay.
Of course there's the Castro district--where all of the streetlights have rainbow flags hanging from them. Not a typical tourist destination, perhaps, but a should-see for a gay tourist, IMHO.
Golden Gate Park is a great place to just relax and have a nice stroll.
And a trip across the Golden Gate bridge (via car, bike, or on foot) isn't a bad idea, if you have the time.
(I've heard good things about Muir Woods, as recommended by Anonymous, but haven't actually been there myself).
What happens when a clueless gay Mormon boy marries a closeted lesbian Mormon convert from Catholicism and they have a kid, lose their faith, and try to make their marriage work? Join us on this messy journey we call life.

I am gay, a father, and was raised Mormon turned agnostic/athiest.

I am a sapphic post-Mormon liberal Catholic, a science editor, and a mom. I like chocolate, retail therapy, and am still trying to convince Mister Curie to let us get a dog.

ReplyDeleteFort Point under the Golden Gate is fun. Also, the Marin Headlands gives a great view of the Golden Gate and the Bay in general.
