San Francisco Trip-Saturday


On the bay cruise...cold and windy!


View of the Golden Gate from the boat


Dinner at Fishermen's Grotto


Coit Tower


Ghirardelli's...yummy!

Hey everyone...just got back from my 5 day adventure to San Francisco with Mike, his dad Andy, his brother Robert and myself. We did a lot in those 4 days we were in the city and plenty of pictures to share. We got there Saturday morning after driving all night from Phoenix. We stayed at the lovely Wharf Inn which is right on the Fisherman's Wharf which was very cool. We first found the guy that took Mike and Andy a couple years ago on a tour of the bay in his fisherman's boat. We paid such a cheap price and got a great view of everything....went around Alcatraz Island all the way to under the Golden Gate bridge and back. He told us great stories and facts that only locals or someone that has lived in the city for awhile would know. It sure was cold on that boat and very windy and lots of swells. Next up was some lunch/dinner at Fishermen's Grotto No. 9 which was very delish and you know me and seafood....love it! (I had it like everyday we were there!) We also visited Coit Tower , which I had never been too(or don't remember if I did or not) great views of the city....wish it didn't have pixy glass all around the top though..could have gotten some great shots Then to Ghirardelli's Chocolate factory for some hot chocolate and brownies...it was a little too cold for a sundae(you can tell by all the layers I'm wearing how cold I really was!)...more to come!
