So we did it. We made our way to San Francisco. I think our big mistake was going on a Saturday in the middle of busy summer tourist season. It took us 5 hours to get to the Golden Gate Bridge. it only took us 90 minutes to get home that night.
Even with all the traffic is was still a great day. We started off driving to the Golden Gate Bridge and crossing it. Definitely worth doing it at least once. Derek and I think the when anyone that visit can borrow a car and do the trip. I am sure that will change in time but it is a bucket list item checked off.
While looking up things to do in San Francisco I came across a neat attraction called Lombard street. It is considered the curviest street in the world. We found it but we could not go down it because they we filming on it on Saturday. I have to say when you look on tv and they show you how hilly the streets are but some of them are very steep, definitely an experience.
Our next stop was Pier 39. It is one of the piers in the bay. It has an aquarium, huge carrousel, lots of store and activities for kids. It is also home to many sea lions. It is definitely a place to visit again. We got to see some really big male sea lions. There are usually more at the pier but right now they are further down the bay breeding. Derek wanted to go to Alcatraz but I was not wanting to get that close to all those spirits handing around that place. They have a night time tour Derek plans to take.
Our next trip will include the trip to the aquarium and possibly a whale watching tour.
