We started the trip off first by visiting Coit tower since it was 2 seconds away from our hotel. It just happened to be a gorgeous day too!! No wind, no rain, no fog...just sunshine!
At the base of the tower were a bunch of Eucalyptus trees and one of the trees was filled with parrots. It was amazing. They were so colorful and really NOISY!
We walked from the tower over to North Beach for some lunch. Jared loved the steep hills!
Jer and Shar and homeless man taking a nap.
Shar and me at the base of the famous windy road that I can't think of the name of right this second.
Just some handsome guys we picked up...Those are Sharidee's steamy eyes...ha ha ha!!
Husband and brother trying to hook up baby to mommy.
One of my favorite things to do on fisherman's wharf is get a hot bowl of clam chowder and a crab sandwich. This time we decided we'd go out on a limb and try some oysters. I am the only one that has ever tried an oyster and I don't think I ever got around to swallowing it. I vaguely remember chewing, gagging, chewing, gagging, and then spitting the snotty slimeball out. So here we all are making a go for it.
We did it!! And with a lot of lemon and a little hot sauce they aren't half bad. They aren't half good either. I'd have to say 70% slimey 30% somewhat tolerable.
It wouldn't be San Francisco without a ferry. (Okay, so this is our boat to Alcatraz)
It also wouldn't be Jared if he didn't do this.
Alcatraz
Those cells were teeny!!
Getting ready for our trolley ride!
Jerrin and Sharidee left on Sunday and Jared and I stuck around for another day. We went to Beach Blanket Babylon (very funny) and then we headed out to a bed and breakfast in Napa Valley. The B&B was a little bit of a disappointment but they gave us 1/2 off our stay and another free night if we ever go back.
We headed over to Sonoma Valley (Which I like a little better) and it was beautiful. It rained on us but it just made it that much more lush!
When we got back into town the sun came out and we found a great view of San Fran from the other side of the bay. It was beautiful!!
And that concludes our trip....sniff sniff....at least we have a free night's stay at a mediocre B&B we need to get back to within the year :)

These pics are killing me! I love San Fran and now I MUST go again soon. I am glad you had a great time.
It looks like you guys had a great time in SF! I went there last year for an evening and wasn't too thrilled. It was too foggy and couldn't see the Golden Gate Bridge. I need to go back and have as much fun as you did...but also go to a baseball game (you are forgiven for not including that in your trip since it wasn't in season).
