Our Trip to San Francisco!

On the Saturday after Christmas before we were to head back to New York, all four of us drove from Fresno to San Francisco for the day. The drive was beautiful!

Before we entered the city we decided to check out Muir Woods. It was a long and steep drive up the mountain, but when we came to Muir Woods...the view was absolutely breathtaking. The trees went on forever and were huge. It was pretty cool. Here's some photos us in Muir Woods.

After Muir Woods, we were heading toward the famous Golden Gate bridge. Before we drove across we stopped at a look-out point and saw the amazing view of the bridge and took some photos.

Once we got into San Francisco, I really wanted to go down the famous Lombard Street that is extremely steep and curvy. I can't believe people actually live on this road. We had to wait about 30 minutes to actually drive our car down the road, but it was worth it. I still can't believe how hilly the streets are in San Francisco!

After all of our sight seeing, we checked into our hotel and then headed to the Fisherman's Wharf at Pier 39. There were lots of fun stores to check out and some comedy/entertaining acts all over. We also watched the barking sea lions for awhile and then decided to get dinner reservations at a seafood restaurant right on the Wharf. We sat by the window overlooking the
bay and Alcatrez. It was beautiful. And since we were at a seafood restaurant we all ordered seafood and everyone but me ordered crab legs...so they had to wear bibs! Here's a photos of us at the restaurant.

After dinner, we went out for some drinks and had a great time playing American Shuffleboard at the bar. And the next day, we were headed back to New York - for a full day of traveling. :(

We had such a wonderful time in California for Christmas and it was so great to see Andrew and Cari and to be their first visitors! But it won't be long till we see them again...they were coming to NYC in just two days to celebrate New Years with us!
