San Francisco

Day 6: Travel

Day 6 was spent traveling to San Francisco. But I did finally get to eat an In and Out Burger, and it was fantastic! Thanks Bob and Bev for recommending it! 

Day 7: Explore

Since we only had a day in San Francisco we chose to take a bus tour around the city. And what better way to enjoy the city than through a Double Decker Bus. So we jumped on an rode around the city and across the bridge listening to our wonderful tour guide for about 3 hours.        

                  

The great thing about being on the bus, was I got to actually look at everything as opposed to driving! We got to see Lombard street, the first bookstore to sell paperback books in America, the Cobb Comedy Club (where Robin Williams got his start), and much much more! It was a beautiful sunny day in San Fran, except of course the bridge! I about froze to death going across the bridge in the fog on the top deck of the bus! We did manage to get a few pictures of the bridge which was nice! 

After the while tour we decided to hang out at Fisherman's Wharf for a while! We had some wonderful seafood! Mom had fish and chips and I had fish, shrimp, and calamari...both were excellent! WE hung out with some sea lions that had taken over part of pier 39, got some great views of Alcatraz (unfortunately we didn't have time to go on a tour!), and found some cute little shops! 

Day 8: Wait on Dad

Dad was supposed to arrive around 12:30 PM West Coast Time. Dad actually arrived about 11:00 PM West Coast Time. He arrived at the RDU airport at 4:00 AM...2 canceled flights and 2 delays later he finally got to leave around 7:45 PM! On a positive note for me...since his flight was delayed I got some amazing authentic Mexican food in San Bruno! 

After he finally got there we rented are car and headed north. We wanted to be out of San Fran by the next morning so we wouldn't have to fight rush-hour traffic. At about 1 AM we arrived at a hotel in Sonoma for a few hours of sleep...but that is just another chapter in the never ending adventure :)
