I left my heart in San Francisco



First up in San Francisco, we headed to Fisherman’s Wharf and Lombard Street. Unfortunately, there was a Giants game, so parking was impossible. Eventually, we found a spot on the steep streets, and headed to see the jagged avenue. Lombard Street was impressively difficult to traverse by car, and it was fun to watch the cars take sharp turns every few feet to do so. We, then, walked along the coast and saw Hyde Pier and Alcatraz in the distance. We also got on a cable car! I also noticed how beautiful the flowers were here. There were so many colorful flowers!

On Pier 39, I decided that I love sea lions! They were so funny and adorable. The creatures simply craved the attention of everyone around and were showing off and squawking to try to earn it. For lunch, we ate at Boudin’s Bakery, which was famous for its sourdough bread. We had a crab cake sandwich and clam chowder in a bread bowl. Both were delicious! We went to Ghirardelli Square for dessert where we had scrumptious butterscotch ice cream. We went to get a better view of the Golden Gate Bridge and drove around the city for a while before heading back.
