The other side of the country

Having grown up in the east and loving to travel, I had fun seeing the sights of San Francisco.  I have been to San Fran before, but this was the first time we have been able to take the boys.  So we had a lot of fun touring Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, and of course drinking chocolate milkshakes at Ghiradelli's!  We were planning on walking the Golden Gate Bridge, but it was so foggy we couldn't even see the bridge; so we just drove over and went to the John Muir Woods to see the Redwood Trees.  Here are some pictures that showcase our fun day on the west side of America.

Pier 39 in San Francisco...a pier full of stores and a "home" for the sea lions.




The double decker carousel on the pier.

Alcatraz in the distance

 Standing in front of the famous sourdough bakery with bread in the shape of crabs and alligators...


...and eating clam chowder from one of their bread baskets!


Lots of views of San Franscico
 
San Fran is always cool or even cold...and people swim in the bay!!  Crazy!
Nothing is better than a chocolate milkshake from Ghirardelli!!
The best view we had of the Golden Gate Bridge...next time we will walk or run it!!
