Paul and I went with his family to San Francisco last week. There were 6 of us to make the fun trip. Ron, Doris, Mike, Joey, and Paul and I. We kept very busy the whole week! We were able to see some of our family and friends that live there. My friend Jackie Degner and her boyfriend Matt joined us for a San Francisco Giants game on the first night we were there. We all really liked the Giants stadium. It is right on the bay overlooking the water, so that is pretty neat. We also had VERY good seats! 3rd row and 9th row! It was a lot of fun! We also got to have dinner one night with Paul's cousin Melanie Mace and her husband Karl. We went to a great pizza place and then to see their house. It was cool to see what the inside of some of the houses in San Francisco look like! It was also great to see them and catch up!
Our hotel was right downtown in Union Square, which is very close to lots of shopping and transportation. I picked that hotel because it is half a block from the subway system that we used for all of our transportation.
Day 1 - Ate dinner at "Lefty O'Douls" and then went to Giants game.
Day 2 - Went on a bus tour of the city with a tour guide all morning. Ate lunch in Fisherman's Wharf, went to tour Alcatraz Island, ate dinner in Fisherman's Wharf.
Day 3 - Rented a car and drove to Napa/Sonoma area to a vineyard/winery, went to Jelly Belly Factory on tour, went to coast North of San Francisco to see the Pacific Ocean, ate dinner with Melanie & Karl.
Day 4 - Paul and I went on a bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Everyone else hung out in Fisherman's Wharf and did some touring during the day. Went to Oakland to the A's game at night.
Day 5 - Got up at 3:00 in the morning to fly back!
I think instead of posting pictures on here I am going to put the link to the pictures I posted on facebook. There are so many pictures and they kind of tell more of the story of what we did. Hope you enjoy looking at them! We had a lot of fun and got to see and do many fun things! I think my favorite part of the trip was the bike ride. It was really hard because of the hills in SF, plus it was cold and really windy that day and we were going against the wind. But, it was still really fun to do! Good thing I do a lot of cycling, Paul on the other hand was struggling at times. :)
Here is the link to the album on facebook:
P.S. Gradyn stayed in Nebraska with Paul's brother Andy and wife Cassie while we were gone. Just in case you were wondering about him! I think he had a fun week with his cousins Luke and Isaac.
