What to do...


Okay, so now you're in sunny California and there are still two or three days until the wedding. What do you do?

Fortunately Gilroy & Aromas are both centrally located to lots of things...

San Francisco...
I was born in San Francisco and therefore have a certain attraction to "The City." It is full of fun things to do and interesting things to see, there are incredible views and great restaurants.
Head down to Pier 39 is you want to be near the water...while its pretty "touristy"... Hey! Most of you are tourists! Be sure to grab bowl of clam chowder in a sour dough french bread bowl and see the sights. From there, you can catch the Ferry to Alcatraz Island and get locked up for the afternoon or head on over to Fisherman's Wharf to see the daily catch, then cruise up the street and shop in Ghiradelli Square, or visit the "Ripley's Believe It or Not" Museum.
If you want to stay away from the heavy crowds and are into artsy stuff.. visit the newly restored Legion of Honor Museum... it has an incedible view of the Golden Gate Bridge or head to the Conservatory, DeYoung Museum, Planetarium or Academy of Sciences all in beautiful Golden Gate Park.
