Weekend in the City

Lou and I spent a weekend in San Francisco with my Grandparents. My grandparents took a cruise through the panama canal from Florida and hung out a few days in our area. It was great fun to be ride the cable cars, tour the city and hang out with the family. The weather was amazing, but we never did get a good view of the bridge through the bay fog. We had lunch on Pier 39 and watched the sea lions battle for space on the floating docks. It is an entertaining site.

Going down the last hill on the cable line to the bay. Alcatraz in the background and another cable car coming up the hill.
Cable car Power house. It is worth the stop.
Jasmine and Grandpa Fred.
We also enjoyed the china town shops, filled with enough trinkets to last a life time. We tried some items from a bakery. I can't say I would recommend anything we had. Lou and I also wandered around Union square. We were surprised to see shirts, pants, and skirts for well over $1,000. None of which had diamonds or other precious gems attached. Ridiculous!
Before my grandparents headed south to Santa Barbara we spent a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and a tour of the lab. It was a fun filled visit.
