Bring a fall/spring wind breaker jacket and long pants. Even mid 20s celcius is FREEZING due to the wind. Wife and I didn't see a store that sold anything reasonably wind breaking or jacket wise in the Union Square area. That was 3 years ago and a friend who went 3-4 months ago reported something similar. (Though they brought fall gear as my wife and I suggested, they were hoping for get an additional layer and didn't find anything) Also, I found San Fran surprisingly dry for being close to water. I've never seen my skin so dry. Even drier than winter, here. Oh, sun screen. It feels cold, but you will get sun burn fast.
San Fran will be cold. Then, 20-30 minute drive inland, it gets super hot. IMO, the city pass is quite worth it if you will be taking transit and you get a handful of discounts/free admission to a few places. Going places was alright, but IMO, I enjoyed the food and culture and parks more than some of the touristy areas.
I found Golden Gate bridge a perfect place for a couple to blow up at one another. It's freaking windy and cold. You have commercial vehicles blasting past you so it's loud. Wind + trucks means you're yelling at one another just because you can't hear anything. And sometimes fog? No, I found fog is often. IMO, I'd suggest just taking a pic from the land portion. I personally wouldn't venture too far onto the pedestrian bridge portion again. If you want to bike, bike the wharf and surrounding parks. Not the bridge.
I enjoyed shopping in Union square. Chinatown was cool, but not much to do there. Definitely shop around for the best price if you buy souvenirs there. I definitely paid $3 per shot glass at one location only to find it for $1 per shot glass at another place a few doors down.
Fisherman's wharf and Pier 39 was it was alright. Aquarium wasn't bad but small. Cable cars are a must. Science centre was meh, the arts museums de Young and Legion of Honor were ok (but I'm not an art fan). I really didn't understand the allure of Haight and Ashbury.
