Our time in San Fransisco is quite a blur - thank god for cameras. We arrived at 9:00 pm, got our luggage and found the airport shuttle to our hotel. Once checked in we ordered a big, room service dinner and tried to go to sleep. No go...it was only 7:00 pm in Hawaii and no one was tired. The girls got to watch Letterman for the first time. :) By midnight, everyone was starting to wind down.
Good thing, because we were being picked up at 10:00 am by Holger of Silver Lion Tours for our day in San Fransisco. What a great adventure that was.
Everyone woke around 8:00 and had breakfast and got ready for our day.
Here are the girls with Holger -our guide for the day.
We were staying outside of San Fransisco and when he picked us up, we headed into the city...first real stop would be Muir Woods - Don wanted to see the Redwoods.
On the way we made a few small stops:
If you watched Amazing Race this season, you recognize the above pictures. We stopped at the Letterman Digital Arts Center - which is the headquarters of Lucasfilm. George Lucas does all of his creating and designing in this compound of buildings. Very Cool!! And of course Don was happy to get a glimpse into the top secret world of the Star Wars creator.
Then on to Golden Gate Bridge with a stop at one of the only two windmills in the city - used to work! Very neat.
We finally got to Muir Woods - very peaceful and pretty place. The Redwoods are amazing.
We ate lunch in Sausalito and then headed to Pier 39 to find the Sea Lions.
After driving down Lombard Street - we've got the video of that, our trip wouldn't be complete without seeing the Painted Ladies and some of the sights used in the tv show Full House. The girls were so excited, as they have become big Full House fans!
2 weeks went fast, but also slow. Lots of great memoroies!
