California Part 1 :: Moving North

Day 1 // Phoenix -> Long Beach

We hit the road early in the morning for Long Beach, 
just south of LA, 
to visit my great aunt and uncle. 


We took a drive up to Signal Hill



and walked along Seal Beach Pier 
to watch the sun set over Long Beach. 


Day 2 // Long Beach -> Fairfield

The next day we stopped in Santa Monica 
for lunch with a good friend from college




Then continued driving all the way to Fairfield, 
outside of San Francisco, 
to stay with Stephen's cousins. 


Day 3 // San Francisco

Early in the morning we headed into San Francisco. 

First stop: 
appointment at the Consulate General of Switzerland to pick up our visas!


Next stop: Fisherman's Wharf

We walked along Pier 39, 
watched the sea lions, 
ate crab cakes from the market, 
a famous Ghirardelli hot fudge sundae, 
and yummy sourdough from Boudin Sourdough. 


Alcatraz from Pier 39


Golden Gate bridge from Pier 39



We also walked along the 


From the pier we had an incredible view of 
the skyline and the Transamerica building. 


We stumbled upon this Banksy before heading back to Fairfield.

We had a lovely evening with Stephen's cousins 
playing Quibbler and watching Mrs. Doubtfire.
