Narrative:
I collected WX/NOTAM information for a flight from sck to wvi and flew from sck to wvi for lunch. I planned to fly straight back, but took the scenic route up the coast. I called norcal approach and asked for the bay city tour. I was given a squawk code, and continued toward the golden gate bridge. As I flew near the bridge, the controller advised that I was entering restr airspace and to turn left. I turned left immediately to avoid the restr airspace. Airshow was in the area. If I checked NOTAMS outside my original intended route, I would have known to avoid the area. I have since taken a flight organization program and will check for NOTAMS outside my route before flying outside route.
