More from San Francisco!

In the previous post I shard about Tag's favorites in San Francisco. I've added more pictures here and a little bit about what we did.

We got to do all of the things that we wanted to do... here is a run-down of our busy schedule. We arrived on Tuesday afternoon. We caught a taxi and went straight to our hotel. B.J. had found FABULOUS rates at the Prescott hotel and they upgraded us to free to the Club Level which included a wonderful breakfast each morning. We unpacked while Tag napped and then we walked around Union Square and had a very good dinner at the hotel restaurant. On this same evening my parents enjoyed an Atlanta Braves baseball game. My mom is a huge fan!

On Wednesday, we got a little bit of a late start... the shoes we had packed for Tag were borrowed and we found out after about 30 minutes of walking that he did NOT want to keep them on as he continued to pull them off and then remove his socks. Generally I wouldn't care, but it was 60 degrees outside. Luckily there was a Payless on the corner. So after our shoe purchase we caught a historic street car to Pier 39 to see the sea lions. We had lunch there (famous San Francisco sourdough) and then went on to look around Ghirardelli Square. Next, we thought we would just walk over to "crooked" Lombard Street, it was only 5 blocks.... of course it ended up being ENTIRELY UPHILL - while pushing a stroller. We had to take turns to get up there, but we finally made it... then of course we had to walk down Lombard Street.

On Thursday morning, my parents went to Napa Valley while B.J. and I set out for Coit Tower. This turned out to be quite a challenge... we had a long trip on public transportation, but we finally made it. The views of the city and bay were beautiful! Then, while Tag slept in his stroller (see picture below), we ate the best fresh seafood at the wharf. After lunch we walked from Pier 41 to Pier 33 in under 10 minutes so that we could make the ferry to Alcatraz for our tour. We got back to Pier 33 after our Alcatraz tour just in time for rush hour: 5:00... which meant that the street cars were super full. So we ended up walking almost 2 miles just to make it to the nearest subway station, where we caught the next train to Union Square. We were tired by the time we got back, but ventured back out for a nice Italian meal at Kuleto's at Union Square.

On Friday we rented a car and drover over the Golden Gate Bridge on our way to see the giant redwoods at Muir Woods. Tag really enjoyed Muir Woods because he got to walk a lot. As soon as we put him back in his stroller he fell asleep! Then we had lunch right on the water in Sausalito before heading back to San Francisco. When we got back to the city, we found a neighborhood playground at Alamo Square that gave Tag an chance to play on the slides and swings. That evening my parents watched Tag while B.J. and I rode a cable car back to the wharf so that we could have more yummy seafood.

On Saturday, our last day, B.J. and Pops headed to the Cable Car Museum while Gran and I took Tag shopping at Union Square. By noon it was time to check out of the hotel and head to the airport for our flight home.

We had a wonderful trip and have a ton of pictures to prove it!
