I am going to warn you. I had way too much diet coke before our Go Car experience and I was a little crazy and probably overly happy (Saturday was one of the best days that I have had in a LONG time).
I am embarrassed but I am going to show you our video anyways. PS we got the cars from here (pps they didn’t pay/sponsor me… I just loved the experience and wanted to tell you about it).
You may want to turn down the volume because for some reason I thought it would be fun to yell for the entire video. I promise I will never say the Y word again.
Yes, we are looking into buying our own to drive around Utah County all day long. Actually, we are seriously looking into getting a motorcycle with a sidecar.
And a few more pics from what we saw along our tour.
Seeing a city in a 3 wheeled car is the best way to see it.
At one point the three of us were just relaxing at a table and all of the sudden my sister disappeared. She came back with 7 cookies (one of those being a lemon bar). She was on a mission to find the best cookie in the city. The winner was the chocolate dipped macaroon.
And then we all split an ice cream sundae. We do this thing where we have to try every sugary item within a 5 mile radius when we are all together.
And then we ended the night with my absolute favorite tacos in the whole wide world (I promise, they really are). Please go to La Taqueria in Mission if you are ever in San Francisco and remember to bring cash because they don’t take cards.
Enjoy the rest of your Martin Luther Kind, Jr. Day!

Lauren @Will Run for Boston
My family does the same thing when we travel! We have to try all the good food in the area and always end up splitting things so we can each try a little of everything! Love the car ride video – it looks like so much fun!
tara @ tara goes streaking

Amanda @ .running with spoons.
It’s so great to see you having a good time, Janae… even if part of that is Diet Coke induced ;)
lauren@golaurengo
What I wouldn’t give for that ice cream sundae. It looks AMAZING!
Jackie
That tour looks like so much fun!!!!!
Lisa@runningoutofwine
It looks like you had so much fun! San Fransisco looks beautiful…much better than the cold and snow!
Sanaz@Run for Cake
What a fun trip! I really hope you had as much fun as it looks like you did. I love San Fransisco. So different from South Florida (where I live) so for me a trip to northern California is always ah-mazing!
Rachelle
I love this video! It’s good to see you having such a great time.
Also, my sister needs to learn from your sister….I would love it if she showed up with tons of cookies!
The weather in Colorado this weekend was beautiful but that California sunshine looks pretty hard to beat right now. It reminded me of running the Nike Women’s marathon a few years ago!
Flower
I’m sorry, I think I missed everything you said after the picture of the ice cream sundae……
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
It looks like you guys had a blast! I’ve never seen those little cars before but now I want to drive one!
Rachel @ My Adventures As A Rinderknecht
Your trip looks like it was so much fun! I’m glad that you had such a good day :) I want to try one of those cars out so bad now ha, and all the food that you ate looked amazing!
Alyssa @ See This Girl Run
I have my motorcycle license. Let’s do this!
Doni
Sooooooooo fun! One of my best vacations was a “staycation” with some exchange-ish type kids from Quebec. We did so many awesome touristy things around SF. We didn’t do that though (too many kids, not enough adults) — but now I neeeeed to do it!
Livi
looks like lots of fun! glad you got to enjoy your weekend!
Robyn
I was in San Francisco this weekend too! First time ever and I loved it. I also went to La Taqueria:) great city!
Erica
You inspire me to handle the challenges with grace. Keep moving forward, it choked me up a little.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday too!
Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run
Love this! For some reason I thought Dean Karnazes said that quote … my brain today! ;)
Lindsey B
Love the vid!! I seriously watched it like 10 times because it made me smile! You just have the most contagious laugh…love!!!

ashton
This food looks uhhhh-mazing, you are gorg, and i’m so glad you got to play for a while!! I hope you didn’t see those one girls…you know who. I’d be too jealous.
ashton
PS. yolo
Christine
Totally creeptastic since I don’t know you in real life but it’s great to see you laugh and smile like that! I hope every day you find a reason to be that happy!
On another note, have you ever tried pure barre? I’ve taken five classes now and I think it’s pretty great (coming from a serious non-runner/no-cardio enthusiast)
Reece
Cracking up at the “YOLO”. Looks like such a fun time.
Girl Child
I pinky promise that I ready your blog daily.. but I was commenting bc I no longer can view SR’s blog.. so odd.. is it my computer or did she ditch the bloggy blog? I can’t believe that she would.. but is it even possible for it to exist and my computer not be able to view it.. #blogstalkerproblems #shweird #yesIknow #thesedontreallywork #canthelp #myself
Tess
Nope. She ditched. End of the year. End of SR.
Tess
Miss Janae, My mom’s family is from SF and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to SF and I’ve never done THAT. I just got back from there…now I want to do it. What a screamin’ good time. Though I may do it without the screamin’. ;) I don’t know…depends on my mood I guess. Thanks for sharing.
Jessica Winters
I just moved to the Napa area recently, and will DEFINITELY be making a trip down to SF to do this soon. :)
Mindy
Those cars are awesome! We were going to do a tour like that when we were in Lisbon but of course since it was Monday they were closed!
