The Great American Road Trip: Day Two

Day two started early as we hit the road for San Francisco. It was about a two hour drive from Sacramento. Unfortunately, the I-80 bridge into San Francisco was closed for major maintenance. We checked into the Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel, and walked to Lefty O'Doul's to watch the Navy v. Ohio State game. Navy played one hell of a game against the #7 team in the nation.

From there we went to the Mission district to get some authentic Mission style burritos. Delicioso!! After lunch we took the subway towards Fisherman's Warf. We had purchased tickets for Alcratraz earlier in the week. I had visited the Rock in 2004, and it was just as good this time around.

From there we worked our way towards China Town. We went to Chef Jai's Restaurant. It is a local favorite right next to some tourist traps. The food was top notch.

After dinner we went back to the motel for a quick snooze, then headed to the San Francisco Creamery Co. We decided to get "The Kitchen Sink" made famous by the TV show Man vs.
Food. It is approximately two gallons of ice cream, eight different scoops of ice cream and eight different kinds of toppings. We made a valiant effort, but in the end, we could not finish it. Feeling extremely miserable, we went back to the motel and went to bed.

Next stop is Napa Valley. Stay tuned for more!
