A day in San Francisco






My sister, Kelly, and I decided to take a day to ourselves and

enjoy the sites of San Francisco without children. First we had

to get to the BART and ride it to the Alcatraz tour on pier 33,

which no one told us it was at least a mile from the BART stop.

We almost missed our booked trip but made it right in time.

We took a couple of hours listening in on the history of Alcatraz

and then headed back to the pier for some grub. We decided

to go with the all famous sour dough bread rolls and clam chowder.

We also got some yummy coconut shrimp and afterwards walked

another mile down to Ghirardelli Square to get some ice cream

and chocolate. We were pooped by this time and just wanted to

get on the BART and go home, but now we were miles from the

right BART station. So we decided to take the public bus back and

on our way got a really thorough sightseeing tour through China town.

Thanks for the fun day Kelly. I always love spending time with you.

You will always be my favorite traveling partner!

How fun Cortney! Did you know I lived in the bay area before I moved to Maui? I LOVE the Monterey Bay Aquarium, ChinaTown, Pier 39, riding on BART, etc.! How fun!
