The Golden Gate Bridge was first. Actually it came just after Tiffany's &Co. but it was our first real destination. It was beautiful outside, honestly we couldn't have asked for a better time to visit the bridge usually it is so foggy that you can hardly even see across it. It was a pretty neat walk too. Once we got to the middle we saw sea lions and dolphins in the water below us and watched as a massive oil tank went under the bridge as well.
Kaden likes to model for me :) i just had to throw this picture up though these doors were on the most beautiful abandoned building just around the corner from the bridge.
Our next visit was to The Exploritorium and Fine Arts musuem. We didn't end up going inside because we were pretty hungry and ready to head to the warf but the outside is absolutely beautiful. The architecture here is so diverse and so amazing I am always in aw with the different types of beauty.
After that we headed to the Warf, sorry no pictures of that... its not to exciting anyways. The next day we went to Coit Tower which was very neat and on the way there we found Mama's and decided we'd go Sunday before we left. Anways, Coit tower was nice very historical as well and allowed you to see all of San Fran from the top. Then after that we wandered around and made our way back to the warf for lunch again and to see the Sea Lions.
Ive decided to become a proffesional Sea Lion Photographer.
Okay on to our last day their and probably our most interesting. We started the morning out by packing up and checking out of our beautiful hotel. We stayed in the St. Francis Westin on Union Square. I highly recomend it. Then we headed to breakfast in Little Italy at Mama's the place we had seen the day before. The reason we decided we should eat here is because when we past before there was a line that rapped all the way around the block of people just waiting to get in to eat. It was the same way when we went and, no joke, waited in line for an hour and a half. It was so worth it though. Also a must go place anytime you are there. They had the best french toast in the entire world. I was dumb enough to order eggs benedict but luckily Kaden knew what to get. After our amazing breakfast we decided to go shopping further inland at a Nordstrom's Rack we figured it was probably pretty amazing, it was a total let down though. This is when we had know idea how to plan our bus trip. We hopped on a bus called the #9 this is not a joke. Do not ever and i am serious, ever get on the #9, unless i guess you have a death wish but even then i wouldn't encourage it. So we got on the #9 and for some reason though it turned around fairly quick and headed back into Union Square. Oh no it didn't it took us strait to the ghetto as the nice houses turned into run down apartments we knew we were in trouble. Then when we were the only white people on the bus we really knew we were in trouble. Then when the run down apartments turned into ridiculously run down apartments and no one was outside at all except for well very rough people is a good way of putting it we really really really knew we were in trouble. Then to top it off here i am with a 2,000 dollar camera around my neck, tiffanys jewlery on, true religions, and a rock on my left hand. I owe my life to guy in the back of the bus who told us to get off asap and run across the street and get on the next train as fast as we could. He asked where we were from and stated it this way. You might think Vegas is a rough place, but that is nothing. You go any further here and you will end up in a place that even the worst people from vegas are afraid to go. We did as he told and well we are fine but the situation could have been a lot worse. I wish i had pictures of this experience now but at the time i was to afraid to life my camera up and look amazed with what i was seeing.
