This is the last day of our trip in San Francisco and Napa Valley. We had a quick breakfast at the Model Bakery in Downtown Napa and then we drove one hour to the Muir Woods National Monument where you can see giant redwoods.
After visiting the Muir Woods Giant Redwoods trees we drove over to Sausalito and had a delicious seafood lunch at Scoma's seafood restaurant right on the water.
From there we drove to the there different lookout points to see the Golden Gate Bridge. We went to Marine Headlands, Battery East and Crissy Field. My favorite of the three was Crissy Field.
About Me: My name is David Hoffmann and for the last decade I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food and history! Since starting Davidsbeenhere in 2008, I have traveled to 71 countries and over 1,000 destinations, which I welcome you to check out on my YouTube Channel, blog and social medias.
I focus a great deal on food and historic sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, whether it’s casual Street food or gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning the local history and culture.
This is the end of our trip, so there's no diet today. As of tomorrow, it's a different story.
Good morning. So, today we're headed back to San Francisco and then to Miami.
It's a little bit of a gloomy day. Right here we have all of the Tournox luggage.
Love this new style and I love this little carry-on. It fits everything.
Lexicon. And these are the larges. There's medium, large, and extra large. Large is enough.
And yeah, let's go to town, have some quick breakfast, and ship the bottles.
So, how many bottles do we get? Let's count. I got three. So, 12 wines.
No, I want you to look at it. Yeah, it's perfect. Remember, it's double wrapped, so it's good.
If it does break, you're safe.
Quick tip, if you're going to buy more than like six bottles of wine,
definitely recommend that you have the winery ship it to your home, so you don't have to do
what we're doing right now. Cardins and Crate, they do the shipping precepts, so they specialize
in shipping wines. The hard thing is that, you know, shipping the wine in a box, it goes onto
a truck, and then it might get too hot, and then you can ruin the wine. So, what they have to do
is just put like ice packs into it, and they only ship twice a month, so it's going to actually stay
here for like another 10 days before it gets shipped to our home. Hopefully, it gets there good,
because if not, it'll be just all sh**. Let's hope. That was easy. You guys can ship, it's okay.
So, you can ship. Just come here to Cardins and Crates.
So, we're back at the bottle bakery, because we love the wine in San Ysidro so much.
We couldn't live without it. It was so good. We couldn't live without it. It was so good, right?
Everything is so special here.
I love this place, though. I know that now, I know that.
Great. The bag's amazing. We're trying our best to fit everything. All right, we did it, we did it.
We're leaving Napa Valley now, and we're headed towards the Golden Gate Bridge area, and we're
going to the Muir Woods National Monument, which is like the redwood forest, and if you've seen
the movie, Planet of the Apes, the recent one, the first one of the trilogy,
that's where the apes escape to at the end, and that's where they start their colony. Really?
You didn't know that? No, I didn't know that. Come on, man. The Golden Gate Bridge. I gotta go,
gotta go see again the movie. And there's a lot of trails there, and then we're going to have some
lunch at some restaurant right by the water. We're going to see the Golden Gate Bridge.
My co-host.
Let's go to the Muir Woods redwood trees.
We've arrived to the Muir Woods redwood forest. Finally. Finally, right? It was a little crazy
of a drive getting here, but we made it. Everybody in the back seat was uh throwing up, but no,
not quite, not quite, not quite. I was fine. The driver's always fine though. This is amazing.
And it's not even that big. There's some that you can like drill a hole in the
middle and drive it far through. Wow. We're going to be seeing some redwood trees and
giant sequoia trees. The sequoias are super old, like 3,200 years old, and they can be 300 feet
tall. Wow, that's pretty cool. These trees have been around the catastrophe that killed off the
dinosaurs 65 million years ago. It didn't even, wasn't even able to kill off before.
How's everything going, dad? Good, good, beautiful, but very nice. Beautiful, no? Amazing.
Makes you wonder about how little time we have on this earth compared to
other species and other, other things, you know. This is amazing. Look up. Wow. These trees are
huge. Go with Nono, go with Nono. So now, where do they stay? It takes about an hour to see the
whole thing? They stay an hour, I think. It takes an hour, but if you're stopping for pictures.
Yeah, if you're stopping for pictures, video, and if you're going to any of these
little trails that go up, so you can have a higher view, I'd say two hours, even three.
Trees are thousands of years old. Amazing. Brown, green, ----. Oh, they're not even that big. I mean,
I've seen the ones in pictures that there's a hole in it, and you can drive a car through it,
but that's in northern California. I think that's in Washington. Look at this. We made it to
Sausalito. Look at this beautiful view. My goodness, it's beautiful. So we've made it to
Sausalito. It's on the other side of the San Francisco Cross and the Golden Gate Bridge.
We're going to eat here at Skoma Seafood Restaurant. Looks amazing right here on the
water. This place looks like it has good seafood, huh? Skoma. I'm so hungry.
You want to try it? You try it. Yeah, I'm going to put it on ice. This is bay oysters with green
spinach and the parmesan cheese on the oven.
This is the end of our trip, so there's no diet today. That's for tomorrow,
the Philippine story. So here we are at the Lady Truppino, California style, for your best.
Oh, I thought you were going to be like, let's get another bottle of wine.
Sausalito is a beautiful town. I love this place already and this restaurant. Oh man,
have to visit this restaurant. That food was incredible and man, the day's gotten even better
now. And when you look across the bay over there, you see how horrible San Francisco looks.
It's like covered in haze. I don't know what it is about San Francisco. It's always like that.
So if you don't know where Sausalito is, this is San Francisco right here.
The whole bay. Sausalito is right here. I think it's a great town. Yeah? Would you live here?
I'm not sure I would live here, but I would come here often. I lived around here. What you were
saying is like everything's like a million or two million bucks here, huh? It's expensive,
but I can see it. I can smell it. So we're finally going to see the Golden Gate Bridge
and where we're going to have marine headlines, headlines? Marine something.
Marine something and it's the best spot to see the Golden Gate Bridge on this side of the bay.
We're about to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and we're going to Crissy Field,
another great lookout point and that is in San Francisco. The first time crossing the
Golden Gate. I feel golden. I feel golden. I feel golden. We did it, we crossed the Golden Gate
Bridge. Okay, from the other side. This is Battery East. This is another great spot to
see the Golden Gate Bridge as you can see over here. Pretty amazing. Battery East. Yeah. Golden
Gate Bridge. Gateway to America. Is that what it is? It is. It is the gateway to America.
So this is Crissy Field. Probably the best view you'll get at the Golden Gate Bridge.
Voila. And right over here we have some seal, alcatraz and the good thing here is that it's
not windy. Where's the seals? Where's the seals? Our adventure here in San Francisco and Napa
has come to an end. No better way to finish it. Okay.
That's two freaking gold. It's perfect.
What is it called? San Francisco International Airport. So seven days in wine country is over.
I had an amazing time with my family. My parents are so funny. My dad is hilarious. I know you
guys loved him. My wife and daughter had a great time as well. The wines were delicious. Food was
so good and the people in Napa Valley are just so nice. And thank you everybody that I worked with.
All the wineries, restaurants, you guys are amazing. And thank you Mazda for hooking us
up with an incredible car. CX9. Wow. What an incredible ride. And thank you Vitoria Knox
for the luggage. Got my backpack here. But as you know, I got the new Lexicon luggage from them and
it's really nice. Hard luggage. So I'm dropping the car off now and heading to Miami. I'm going
to miss this ride. We made it.
