San Francisco

We went on vacation to San Francisco! Jimmy and Charity decided to join us to have a good time. First we went to the FUN. concert. It was good and we had a fun time together.

We also hit 100,000 miles on our car! We've put a lot of miles on our little car in the past 4 years. The next day we went to Alcatraz! We got poured on the whole time, but we were still able to see everything we wanted to. Of course we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe on Pier 39 and enjoyed the chance to escape the rain. 

David and I went to the aquarium on the pier. They had some crazy jelly fish as well as chinchillas. Why they had chinchillas in an aquarium I do not know, but they did. David pretended to eat the sardines. He also petted a sting ray, shark, and giant star fish. I pet one of the giant star fish as well. We then checked out the rest of Fisherman's Wharf. We watched a few sea lions battle it out, ate some yummy churros, and checked out a few shops all in the rain.

That night we stopped at Ghirardelli. You can't really tell in that Ghirardelli picture but we are soaked. My jeans were wet up to my knees! The next night we rode a trolley into China Town where we had some really good Chinese food and enjoyed looking through a couple shops.

The next day thankfully it stopped raining. We did a photo op by the Golden Gate Bridge then drove across it to get to Muir Woods. We walked all over Muir Woods. The paths were a little muddy from the rain the day before, but there was also more water in the river and streams which was neat. It is amazing how tall and big those redwood trees become.

Overall we had a great trip! It was a lot of fun to spend time with Jimmy and Charity. It was also a much needed and nice break from work.
