To start out...we stayed at a HOSTEL...for reals. It was right downtown, and it was the place where the price was right for us. Everything else was over $175/night. We got this private bedroom for only $90/night! We got some very strange looks walking around in there w/a baby, but we didn't really care, he was great sleeping at night and wasn't a bother to others.
Buses, Cable Cars and Trolleys. We most likely took every route and bus possible in San Fran! We prefer to take public transportation when they have great systems, and this place did.
The Japanese Tea Gardens. This was the only hour that we really felt like we were on a relaxed vacation. Spencer really likes the Japanese type gardens in particular, and we will most likely have a little splash of this type in our perinnial gardens here at home.
Lombard Street a.k.a. the Crooked Street. It does have like 6-7 bends, very crooked, but beautiful with hedges and large begonia flowers spread throughout. There are very steep streets in this city as well. 
Coit Tower, it's their overlook to the city. Definately not worth it. Most of the weather has fog, so you can't see too far. However, if it is for sure a clear day w/no rain, then it may be worth it.
Unfortunately, we didn't find as many great eats as we would've liked to, but by the last night we found the jackpot, and went back for lunch the last day.
Overall, it was a very eventful, successful vacation. We did almost everything you could do there, just like we usually do. From here on out, we have decided to slow down and try to relax and enjoy the city more. Traveling with a baby is DOABLE, just adds a bit more work and time needed to get from here to there. Oh yea, and a bit more stuff to take around everywhere with you. Another couple posts to follow...
