3 Days in San Francisco (SantaCon, Museum of Ice Cream & Angel Island)



San Francisco is one of my favorite places to travel during the Christmas season. Amie and I got a chance to spend three days there this year and had a lot of fun eating, hiking and exploring the city. We made a vlog type video to show you the trip, hope you enjoy it!

Some of the spots we visit:
Museum of Ice Cream
SantaCon
Grace Cathedral
Bobs Donuts
Mr. Holmes Bakehouse
Angel Island State Park
Fairmont Gingerbread House
Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel
The Codmother Fish and Chips

Angel Island video is not done yet but it should be up next week and I will link to it here.

    nice vid, you've given me a few ideas if i ever get over there, especially angel island, one question about that, is there accommodation on the island or is it strictly a day trip?

    Loved that Museum of Ice Cream! That looks awesome. Didn’t realize that there was a gingerbread house inside the hotel. Would have definitely gone in there. I’d pick anything blueberry if I got ice cream. We used to go to Grace Cathedral’s organ and brass concert every year. It was a favorite of mine. I don’t think that they are doing it anymore though. Miss it for the holidays. Looks like the weather was very rainy when you were there. Have not been to Angel Island. Always wanted to do that and bring our tandem bike with us so that we could use it to get around. That was a quick trip to Angel Island. Boudin is my favorite sour dough bread. Sure miss that in the south. :’(.

    So nice to see all those sights of a city that has a lot of similarities with Lisbon, my hometown, like the hills, the old tram and Golden Gate Bridge. I'm really excited that TAP Air Portugal is gonna fly direct from Lisbon to San Francisconext year. I have to go!!

    Can’t wait to go back there. Definitely gotta try all the food locations!!! Thanks! Great vid as usual 👍

    We are thinking of a San Fran trip but all I see and read is how the city is overrun with homeless people and not very safe – now is this an overblown media/news thing or is it just a certain area or areas. The city seems fine in the videos I have seen on this channel.

    I live way too close to SF to not go there more often. I haven't been to Angel Island in years and didn't even know about the Museum of Ice Cream! Once again, great video inspiring me to check out some cool places.

    Well done sir, well done! I'm surprised you guys didn't visit the Musee' Mecanique while at Fisherman's Wharf. Amazing place loaded with old time mechanical arcade games and artifacts. It also has a bunch of vintage classic video games. There's an original "Asteroids" that looks brand new! It's just a short walk from the Boudin bakery. Also, doesn't your arm get tired from holding your camera straight out like that? 😉

    Nice editing. I didn't see one syringe or turd. How did you survive the Santa suit? Were you beaten?

    You have really great informative content! My boyfriend and I are going to San Francisco for the first time on December 24 – 28. I’m from Vancouver Canada and I’m wonder what’s the average temperature during that time of the year? Would a light fall jacket be enough? Thanks again for the great video~!

    Greetings from the opposite and superior shore [aka Oakland], glad to see someone respect the place. Most of youtube these days are just right-wing nutjobs and RT tolls who do nothing but b*(ch about it.

    Surprised you didn't mention The Exploratorium or Ghiradelli Square.

    I was there in early November 2018. Just loved the Christmas vibes. I did a cinematic video for it on my channel. I would appreciate you guys checking out.

    Next time for ice cream go to Mitchell’s on San Jose in the Mission! True local spot! And best Taquería El Farolito on Mission and onondaga st! That’s where the locals go! Just catch our best Muni line the 14 mission! If you want the best sandwiches in San Francisco go to Roxie’s San Jose and San Juan! Our family tradition Roxie’s then Mitchell’s!

    Homeless poop and used syringes……EVERYWHERE…..I grew up in the area and never seen it this bad…..germaphobes be warned.

    San Francisco is awesome! Surprised you didn’t visit Chinatown. Great place to visit and I’m looking forward to going back. I’m from the Los Angeles San Gabriel Valley area. Fisherman’s Wharf was very cool. Love the architecture and history.
