San Francisco

We spent our last day of vacation in San Francisco. It is truly a beautiful city. We were, however, unprepared for how cold it was. We came in shorts and t-shirts but needed jeans and sweatshirts! So we got out and walked around some, but it was quite windy and chilly.


We walked through Fisherman's Wharf...


And saw Alcatraz, but only from a distance...



The hills were quite something.


And we actually managed to drive down the famous, crooked Lombard Street.


We drove through Chinatown but couldn't find any parking to get out and walk.


And of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a foggy day so our pictures aren't so spectacular.


We drove out to Muir Woods - a grove of beautiful redwood trees. That forest was so peaceful, there was a stream running through it, and wildlife. We definitely would spend more time there if we could go back someday.


We went back to the house that night, sad, knowing our fabulous trip was over. We had to get up the next day and fly back to Maryland.
