Weekend in San Fransisco!

We spent the weekend in San Fransisco with my Parents, Aunt Mandy and Uncle Martin, Steven, and Pauli... Gpa Bob and Gma Dorothy met up with us for some of the fun as well.. We did the pier 39, a San Fransisco city tour (in a short tour bus), then Alcatraz, then went to dinner at the wharf... it was fun! chilly though! good thing i keep an extra jacket in the car... here are some of the good pics we took!


Me in the gardens. really pretty colors!

We were trying to get a nice serious pic of joe and i.. and here comes steven in the background!

These houses are called "the four sisters" cuz they look exactly the same. behind it is the city..


Mom and I under the windmill.. The dutch gave this windmill to the city of San Fransisco to use wind to generate electricity way back when the city was first being built.. all it does now is sit there and look pretty!

Steven and my mom....

Another pic of me with the windmill behind me..

My mom in the gardens


Steven and Uncle Martin doing their "Trolly Pose". we didn't have enough time to actually ride the trolly :( but next time we will schedule some time for that. The whole time we were taking pictures i kept thinking "rice-a-roni- the San Fransisco treat! DING DING!


this is Lombard street. it is in the book of world records as being the most crooked street in America. Sadly we couldn't drive down it, Buses and trucks are not allowed. we couldn't stop either so i snapped this pic just as we were speeding by!

Uncle Martin, Pauli, and Mom in the "tour bus/van"

The golden gate bridge is an awesome structure to take pictures of.. the last set we took were at night. This day we were able to snap some good ones in the daytime. It was SO PACKED there! WAY to many people. when Joe and i went in February, it was midnight and deserted!

another golden gate pic....
and the last golden gate picture...

We wanted to have lunch at Bubba Gump on the pier. But unfortunately the wait was an hour. since they didn't feed us on the bus, and we all skipped breakfast, we couldn't wait! so we went to this pizza joint. it was good!
