You will find no shortage of treats on Fisherman’s Wharf with these two incredible shops; Carousel Candies and Wharf Chocolate Shop. Wall to wall selections of just about everything imaginable including my favorite, chocolate covered seafoam…
Fisherman’s wharf is where you will find dozens of great restaurants. We decided on one called Crabhouse Seafood Grill, it was fabulous and the three of us split a lobster, a crab and a steak it was amazing. All seafood aside we also stopped for Breakfast at a really popular restaurant called Crepes of Brittany, the crepes were incredible as well…
California Road Trip day four, continuing on very late in the day from San Francisco we are planning to only go as far as Monterey CA today. Most of the best seafood I have ever had has come from Monterey, so it will be a real treat to enjoy it right here from Fisherman’s Wharf…
Most drinks can be found anywhere, the trick is finding the best version of any drink. The Buena Vista in San Francisco, without a doubt makes the best Irish Coffee and Gin Fizz that you will ever have. Stop by, you will not be disappointed…
While on Pier 39 stop by Trish’s Mini Donuts, they are amazing, then grab a coffee from Biscoff to go with it. This is a smooth cup of coffee served along with a sample size cookie. Then after some shopping and time for it all to settle, Ghirardelli of course! The chocolate is melt in the mouth delicious and the sundaes are decadent…
Staying the night at the Hotel Whitcomb and enjoying some of the fun activities of San Francisco…

Crescent City, CA is where we are ending our drive on Day two as we are about to enter the Redwood Forest and we want to enjoy driving it through the day. We have driven over 600 miles so far, this magnificient little coastal town is a gorgeous place to wake up as it sits on the ocean and the edge of the Redwood Forest. This location has been the backdrop for many great movies, most notable were; ET, Jurrasic Park and one of the Star Wars films, just to name a few. I snapped this photo, first thing in the morning as the fog and sun were breaking through the trees…
Georgie’s Beachside Grill also has an incredible Chocolate Torte, so make sure you save room. This is an absolute must to try…

Another break from the drive brought us to Lincoln Beach and Depoe Bay, the coastal drive is gorgeous and this is another beautiful place to stop and relax…
Continuing our drive down the coast we stopped at Cannon beach to cool off. It is amazing how close we are to this gorgeous sandy beach. Haystack rock somehow makes it even more relaxing here. Cannon Beach is the perfect location for a weekend getaway with an abundance of activities and a large number of bed and breakfast locations right along the beach. Definitely worth coming back for. Pressing on, we are planning to go as far as Crescent City, CA today as we want to go through the Redwood Forest during the daylight…

California Road Trip Day Two, We are leaving Seattle and playing it by ear to see how far we can make it on our second day. Some of the cool stops along the way include Astoria OR. This little town home to the filming of the movie “Goonies,” offers many great activities such as zip lining, ocean kayaking, hiking at Lewis and Clark National Park or climbing the Astoria Column for a great view of the area. When you are ready for a break, you will find many great restaurants and pubs. Stop by Pier 39 for a great coffee with an amazing view of watching sea lions at Coffee Girl or, if you prefer a cold one, Rogue brewery is right next door. This little town is certainly worthy of a return visit…
A stop in Seattle would not be complete without a quick stop to Pier 54 to sample a bit of seafood, try the shrimp cocktail from Ivars fish bar…

Anthony’s Restaurant has several of the best desserts found anywhere. The lava cake is out of this world, it does however take 20 minutes to bake, so order this one in advance. Included with the Sunset Dinner, you have the choice of a Hot fudge Sundae, an incredible Burnt Cream or an amazing Bailey’s Irish Cream Chocolate Mousse. Secret tip: dine with at least 3 other people and you can share all four!
Anthony’s Restaurant is one of our many delicious secrets. This Pacific Northwest seafood chain serves up some of the best seafood you will ever have… The crab cakes are out of this world! They are made without any filler, just melt in the mouth pillows of heaven! They offer up many fresh daily seafood dishes. My absolute favorite is the Sunset Dinner, you definitely must try it, available weekdays until 6pm. This four course meal consists of an appetizer, salad, entrée and dessert. This dinner is phenomenal and the quality at this price cannot be beat…
