Things I did in the Bay Area

📍 City/Country: San Francisco Bay Area

1. Chinatown is FULL of great food and cultural experiences. We went while a festival was going on and it was an awesome experience.

2. Fisherman's Wharf is awesome for seafood and to get some water view. We took a boat tour, and there’s no need to book in advance there are plenty of options there

3. Mission Dolores Park - we grabbed some of SF’s famous “mission style burritos” and had a picnic with an AWESOME view of the city. This was a fun chill thing to do

4. Downtown Oakland had a lot more than you would expect. Check out eventbrite and find a party going on. Also, do your research on the areas and read reviews!

5. Drove to Napa Valley for a day and that was a cute beautiful day trip
