Run Forrest Run!



Finally trying to get caught up on the blog... yes Forrest we are still running!


On Sunday after the wedding, we went to San Francisco to do a whirlwind tour of a few things Raelee and Stephenie wanted to see. Raelee's requests were pier 39 (sea lions) and the 'crooked street', her mom's request was to ride a cable car. 

We saw a light house:



We saw sea lions:



We saw more sea lions:



They even entertained us:


One loved the cute blue eyed blonde we had tagging along:

The blue eyed blonde decided the same thing she did in Oregon: "sea lions are noisy and stinky!"

Even a gull entertained us playing with a croc:


We took a picture of Alcatraz:


We tried to take a picture of the Golden Gate bridge:



We saw the world's largest privately owned sail boat The Maltese Falcon:

 
Here are the facts on it:

$130,000,000.00
20 stories high
289 ft long
42 ft wide
Owned by Tom Perkins

Look it up on You Tube - there are lots of videos of it entering San Francisco Bay.


Then we froze our butts off: 

 
Well, okay, we WISH we did ;-)


We stood in a very long line and waited on a cable car:


 
And listened to the man singing his rendition of Blowing in the Wind:


 
Rode the car to the other end and waited again:




While I thought...


We drove down Lombard St:


We saw the Full House row of homes:



When do we get to:




??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
