CALIFORNIA TRIP.......PART ONE

SAN FRANCISCO
May 11th-13th
Side Trip before Thousand Oaks
John wanted to go a different way rather than going through Las Vegas to get to Thousand Oaks. We decided that we would go through Reno and visit San Francisco. It was a very quick trip to see part of northern California but it was well worth the miles and the short visit.
We stayed in Berkley, at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. We took the Bart over to the bay area where we spent the afternoon and evening enjoying the surroundings.





We rode the cable car and Trolley a few times to different destinations. I love the look of the homes up and down the streets.









We were told that the fudge ice cream Sunday's were very good in Ghirardelli square so we shared one at the chocolate shop there in the square. I love chocolate, but it was a little too rich for me, John gladly finished it off.


We walked through Fisherman's wharf and ended the day at Pier 39 overlooking the famous Alcatraz. We ate at Bubby Gumps. Kids do you remember that place? When we were with the kids we sat right next to the window overlooking the bay watching the sea lions.

Those pictures of S.F. sure bring back memories! I can't wait to take the kids there. It was definately one of my favorite places as a kid.
