San Francisco

On Thursday Megan, Alex and I left at promptly 8:00 pm to head toward San Francisco.

 The car was full to the rim.  We squeezed a few more things in after this and it was packed.

 Alex got the back seat on the way down.  He seemed to be happy back there with all of his pillows and everything.

 We ended up driving straight thru and we got to San Francisco at about 11:00 a.m. but we couldn't check into our hotel until 3:00 p.m. so we went down to Pier 39 and the Golden Gate Bridge.

 We walked out onto the bridge to get some pictures and check out the view from way up there.

 All of our pictures had to be from a distance because we all looked like we had been driving in a car without a shower for 16 hours!!!!

 After we got all of the pictures we could from up top we figured out how to get down to the bottom and get some pictures looking up plus we got to check out Fort Baker where my Dad had been stationed for awhile when he was in the military. 

 We went back to our room at about 5:00 p.m., got checked in, took a shower and went for a gourmet dinner across the street at the Denny's. 

We had a fun drive down and got to enjoy day 1 of our vacation.  Tomorrow is a full day of tourist site seeing.  Just wait.  We had one fun filled day!!!!!
