Need to get away? Isaiah and I did! This morning we took off for San Francisco. We wanted to do something fun for our 5 year anniversary that is next week so here we are!

We left SLC this morning with snow lightly falling. After we got out of SLC this is what we saw from the airplane...

It's so weird to see the clouds below you instead of above you.




Self portraits are never a good idea...


Once we got into San Francisco we headed down to Fisherman's Wharf and enjoyed a DELICIOUS sourdough breadbowl with clam chowder.

We then walked around the pier. This is a pic of Alcatraz. On Thursday we're going to take the tour :)



At the pier they had a retired submarine (on the right you can kind of see it) and a retired ship that you can tour.


I love these signs...






We were able to board the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien and walk around. It was pretty cool to see what they look like up close and see inside.


We went up to the gunner deck and Isaiah took aim. Bad guys of San Fran beware - he's got you in his sights!



We went down below and I helped drive the ship. Full speed ahead!




Outside the ship there was a museum that had tons of old coin operated "games" from the early 1900s. They also had one of the coin press things. I got me a Rosie the Riveter penny :)




These are a great examples of what was in the Museum. Wow, this really is entertainment. I'm glad these only cost a quarter.


I kept waiting for this to do more...like have them attack the guys. Nope they really did just move their head up and down.





I thought this was funny...



Then Isaiah and I walked up to Ghirardelli Square. This is Isaiah enjoying a Ghirardelli hot chocolate in front of a Ghirardelli sign.

We thought we'd try walking back to the hotel and came across this hill. To get a point of reference on the incline look at the street light on the right. Can you imagine if San Francisco got snow?!? The cars would slide right down the hill!




After a long day of travel and site seeing we're looking forward to a good night sleep!
