San Francisco August 26-29


After leaving the beach house, we headed up to San Francisco.

I felt very nostalgic in the Bay area.  Growing up that was where we vacationed every year.  Gary and Lynn lived there and later Tom did also.  There are so many memories, and I always think of Chuck when we go to Pier 39.



We stopped at a lighthouse on the way (and took selfies, of course)


We drove by the high school Justin went to in San Bruno.


And went to a Giant's game  (Giants lost, but we had a wonderful time and you couldn't beat the view).





We went to Alcatraz, which was a first for me.






We went to Pier 39 on the 29th for a very special reason.  They have a shop that makes giant crepes,  and it was a certain 8 year old's birthday that day.




The kids thought this was a very appropriate sign for Grandpa.


Justin and I got to be part of a magic show.

We went to Gharidelli Square, and everyone was a little concerned when Gary put his arm around the shop girl to take a selfie.




Tiffany made a 40 by 40 list of things she wanted to accomplish before her 40th birthday in May.  One of then was to walk the Golden Gate Bridge.  And she did it!  (A few of us just went half way).


Then it was time to leave, but we brought the breakfast buffet up to Gary.



Such a fun time!

Oh my gosh....that looks like such an amazing trip. It brought back so many memories of when we would go to the exact same places when we visited Gary and Lynn.
