San Francisco

Oakland Temple

The 49ers Stadium! They played against the Eagles and it had a sad ending. They lost! It was fun and everyone (the fans) loved Malleya. They kept giving her five. She loved the attention.

I found these ear muffs at Wal-mart. They worked great with blocking out a lot of noise. She did great with keeping them on.

We took a drive on Lombard Street. It took forever to get to and about 30 seconds to drive down it. The street to get to it is very steep and we were in a stick shift. We killed the car a few times and had the nice smell of a burnt clutch, but it was a fun and cool adventure!

The View on Lombard Street.

The lovely hill getting to Lombard. There is the trolley passing by.

The view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

I love this picture. She was such a great traveler. The view was awesome.

The Golden Gate Bridge behind us. Malleya loves giving kisses.

CUTIE!!!

It took a long time to get over the bridge with all the traffic. It was totally worth it though!

Driving on the Golden Gate Bridge

My cousin Tabitha, her husband and their adorable twin boys live in San Francisco. We had to go see them! Malleya is only a month younger then the boys. They had so much fun playing together but we unfortunately couldn't stay long.

Nick drove by the Giants ballpark. It was one the most amazing ballparks I've ever seen.

On the trolley. They pack you in there like sardines but it was fun to ride in.

Little lady was so tired. She slept the entire ride.

We weren't able to go to Ghirardelli Square so this is the best we could do- by getting a picture.

We are standing at the entrance to Alcatraz Prison. It was quite an experience. They had you listen to stories from actual prisoners and guards that were there. We got to see the top floor, which is the hospital. They only open that for night tours because it is FREAKY! It was still very interesting to hear the stories and see all the history there.

Nick standing at solitary confinement. They would shut prisoners in there for a long time with no light. There was a prisoner that would take the button from his shirt and throw it in the room and search for it just to keep from going insane.

This is their tiny prison cell. There were over 200 prisoners and 150 guards. The cells go up three flights on both sides.

On the Ferry to Alcatraz.

A view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the Ferry. It was so pretty.

On the way to Alcatraz, which is in the background.

This is Alcatraz. The building on the right side was were the man that ran the prison lived with his family.

trying on a hat in one of the shops at the Fisherman's Wharf.

It was Fleet Week so we got to see the Blue Angels do tricks right around the bridge and around the bay. It was very cool, loud and crowded.

The view from the restaurant we ate at called Aliotos. It was very delicious.

The Koit Tower in the background

Nick was stopped by a man from the radio. He was asked some questions about where he was from and why he was there.

This building on the left was shaped like a pizza

This is the cable car museum. It showed how the Trolleys work. They hook onto these cables that run under the city to go up hill and then they let go to ride downhill.

There was some serious archutecture in San Francisco. Ive never seen so many interesting buildings.

Walking up these hills was quite a workout especially carrying a baby.

A chinese museum

This statue was in the middle of the road.

An intestesting statue on the walk around town.

The Civic Center. It was huge and very cool looking.

The swimming pool at our hotel. It was very nice and Malleya loved swimming/splashing

Ready to swim!

Malleya was a trooper during the drive to San Francisco. We found a very pretty spot to park and stretch on the way to San Francisco.

Nick won a trip from his work a while ago. We have always wanted to go to San Francisco and Nick had a weekend off so we went on road trip. It was a lot of fun. We saw so much stuff! I loved it. It was nothing like I expected. I loved the weather, the views and being with my family. It was a long drive there and back but Malleya did great. The pictures are a out of order but either way they are here for you to see. We crammed so much into a weekend but it was worth it to see and do. Im glad we were able to go.
