san francisco (day four): san fran hot spots

with joe finished with his conference, we had one day to do some sightseeing as a family. first we stopped by alamo square for a view of the famous “pink ladies”, a row of victorian houses, with the city in the background.

architecture was generally very interesting, especially when virtually everything is built on a hill.

driving down a VERY steep hill. kind of came out of nowhere!

then we were off to see the golden gate bridge. poor baby, she slept through all the excitement!

next stop was fisherman’s wharf where we had lunch with a view. fried oysters.

then a short walk to pier 39 for a view of the lazy sea lions and alcatraz (if you squint, you can see it on the island in the background!). so much to do, but so little time. we’ll have to come back one day for a proper visit.
