We were all tired when we woke up this morning and feeling a little crabby. It would have been nice to sleep in, but we wanted the “free” breakfast. You got two free pancakes but then had to pay for your own drinks. Anyways, it was fine. So, we got on the road and started driving towards San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Once we got going everyone started feeling a bit better. The bridge was super cool. Garth took us to Fisherman’s Wharf where we saw a submarine and a ship named Jeremy O’Brien from World War II. We saw the first Ghiradelli’s and got free chocolates. I had made a picnic lunch and we ate it at a park there in the wharf. A police lady on a horse and a nice grassy area where the kids could play tag made it a fun place for us to hang out.
We went on the crookedest street in the world. (A lady walked right in front of the picture I was trying to take of the street), but I did get one at the top so hopefully you can kind of see how curvy it is. Then we went down to AT&T stadium where the Giants play. You know Garth. He is a HUGE baseball fan. We saw cable cars, trolleys, electric street cars, and Alcatraz. We even saw a shop here that reminded us of Bali. It had sarongs, and soccer jerseys. Wyatt was excited about the jerseys until he saw the price. An exact same jersey he bought in Bali for $3.00 was being sold here for $38.00. We did find a clearance rack of shirts and sweatshirts, so we did get a few souvenirs. Today was the first day that it felt remotely warm. We were all excited to see palm trees, even tho they are shorter than the palm trees we are used to, and not full of falling coconuts.
Tomorrow we are headed to Garth’s cousins house in Santa Barbara.
