Wherever we travel, visit, or live, there are always a few touristy things on our list we need to check off.  Places are touristy for a reason and I try not to automatically discount them as "gimmicky" (although, there will always be some which are! I'm looking at you Madam Tussauds!).  A couple of weekends ago, Alex and I spent our Saturday walking around Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building Marketplace.  It is always nice playing "tourist" for a day and it was fun re-exploring some of the most visited places in San Francisco.
