Every Step You Take,....San Francisco!

Does anyone remember Full House with the Olsen twins and Uncle Jessie? Well, AJ and I grew up to watching that fun loving family show and as soon as we got on the ferry in San Francisco to go under the Golden Gate Bridge, AJ started singing that theme song,... loudly! It was so funny because he only sang one line (he's not great at hearing lyrics to any song, actually). "Every where you go, every where you look, there's a heart where somebody needs you..." I'm not even sure if those are the right words but that's what he sang, over and over, and over... again!

The thing we were looking forward to most was going on Alcatraz island (AJ's favorite movie is THE ROCK with Sean Connery on the island Alcatraz). But the tickets were completely sold out until 4 days away! So we took the second best tour of the bay on a boat cruise that went under the golden gate bridge and around Alcatraz island. It was really neat! The weather was AMAZING and perfect! AJ was in shorts and it was breezy on the water but still beautiful!

Yes, again, we saw sea lions basking in the sun! AJ took a ton of pictures of them too. We didn't ride any cable cars but we saw them and even took our picture with them! The roads are steep and it's so strange to see houses built on an angled slope! We didn't stay in the city but it was perfect to spend the day there and move on through! After our day there, we drove up to our bed and breakfast in Marin county, right on the west coast line about 20 miles north of San Francisco and next to Sonoma County. We stayed right in Point Reyes National Seashore Park and we took coastal highway to get there... only 20 miles took like 1.5 hours because of all the switch backs (twisty roads). But that's for the next post!
