San Fransisco



The trip to San Fran was great! We stopped in Davis and saw the house that Dong had remodeled for his kids to live in during college. It has 7 bedrooms and they rent out the other 6. We ate breakfast at a Black Bear Diner and traveled on to the Golden Gate bridge. We went to Golden Gate park and walked some of the beautiful trails. Dong and Hoa walk every day. The trees, plants, and landscaping is gorgeous. We stopped on the shore at a park up on a ridge looking down at the water. I walked down part way, but stopped at the stairs that led straight down to the water and some old baths that are just ruins now. Dong and Hoa went the whole way down, but I knew my knees wouldn't take it. Going down would have been okay but coming up ... I sat and watched even young people coming up and breathing hard! We went from there to the Fisherman's Wharf. We visited several shops, and toured a ship museum, located on one of the piers. We needed Jordan, Madi, and Lexi to climb up and down in all of those boats. We could see Alcatraz across form the museum. We listened to 2 men singing sailing songs. Their harmony was great! After walking around for a while we ate lunch at a seafood restaurant on one of the piers and we could watch the sailboats in the distance. I bought a jackets that says San Fransisco and has a picture of the golden Gate bridge. We went back to Sacramento across the Mission Bridge. It is much longer that the Golden Gate bridge.
