San Francisco- Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Alcatraz

This is the last post from our trip to San Francisco. Sorry for the photo dump! 

On Saturday night we went to Fisherman's Wharf for dinner at Scoma's. The food was delicious despite the long wait. After dinner we walked over to Ghiardelli Square and bought some yummy chocolate.  On Sunday, we went to Alcatraz, which was pretty amazing. It is actually a beautiful island and the prison was really interesting to see. The audio tour was great and we learned a lot about the "rock".

SO tired from having to wake up at 3:45 to catch our plane 

San Francisco- Chinatown & Muir Woods

On Friday, we did some shopping at a shopping mall next to our hotel while my dad had a meeting. In the afternoon we headed into the city to go to China town. China town was really neat. We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant and walked around to see some of the different views and shops. We then headed back over the Bay Bridge to pick Jayden up from the airport! Wahoo! We were so excited to see him. We were so glad that he was able to join us for the rest of the trip. The next morning we went to Muir Woods. Muir Woods is beautiful and has VERY tall redwoods. It was really cool to see such a beautiful and peaceful place after being in the city.

We ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant. Gavin LOVED playing with the chopsticks. This photo was taken mid-fall out of his mouth. 


Our hotel rooms was across the San Francisco bay on the 11th floor, so Gavin loved standing up at the window and looking at all of the passing cars and lights
