Save the best for last

SO, SO yummy!

Pier 39

We visited Pier 39 and watched the sea lions sleep... some played and that was entertaining. Others just slept and made weird noises. It was fun to watch them even though they weren't really active.

This was all after Alcatraz and we were starving so we went and had lunch. Bread bowl with clam chowder for Ryan and bread bowl and chili for me! YUM!

Trolly Car in SF

After Alcatraz we walked down Embarcadero St. and visited Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square and rode the Trolly Car. It was all so much fun! The sun came out too! Here are some photos of our Trolly Car ride. We rode from Fisherman's Wharf to Market Street. It was fun but now that we've done it I don't have to do it again... The main reason we rode it was to see Lomard Street which is the most crooked street EVER. We saw the top, but we were tired so we didn't want to get off and walk down it. Seeing it from the top was good enough... ;)

Oh yeah... I asked this guy to take our picture. He took my camera and took "our" picture! Then he took a picture of Ryan and I. He was pretty funny!

Alcatraz Island

We visited Alcatraz on our little trip and it was really neat! Here are some photos of our adventures.

In the shower room. EWE...

Cute Ryan next to one of the cells.

Inside the cell. We had a headset to take a self-guided tour. It was really interesting.

A really fancy cell...

From the top of Alcatraz across the bay. This is the Bay Bridge.

This is the Golden Gate Bridge and it was a really foggy day.

Ryan and the view to downtown and the Bay Bridge.

Some of the prisoners actually escaped by digging around the vent to make it wider. This is one of the cells that a prisoner escaped from.

If you get the chance you should visit Alcatraz. It was really a pretty island and a very interested tour. There were a lot of things to see - many that we didn't photograph. Just take a jacket because it gets cold and windy out there!

Oakland Temple

On our trip to SF we made our way over the Bay Bridge to the Oakland Temple. We got there when it was light to take a picture looking back at downtown SF. However, we waited too long to take pictures of the temple itself. Fun to see it though!

Golden Gate Bridge

S.F. Part 2

We wandered through Chinatown one afternoon. It was interesting. It looked pretty cool!

More photos at the Golden Gate Park. This is the Rose Garden. It was beautiful and smelled amazing. I didn't know they had so many different types of roses!

More Golden Gate Park.

From here Ryan decided we could walk to the Golden Gate Bridge. It looked like a few miles away on the map so we started our trek. After about 1 mile we looked for a bus. Luckily we were on the right street to catch a bus right up to the bridge!
