San Francisco

Yum...I love clam chowder in a sourdough breadbowl.

 Mike & I were lucky enough to get away for a few days. Last year Mike turned 40 and did not want any party or anything for the big day, so it was really low key. I have felt bad about it and decided to do something really fun for his birthday this year. I got us tickets to the Oakland Raiders home opener against the San Diego Chargers. We flew to Oakland on Sunday and visited with some friends from Livermore. Then on Monday we headed to San Francisco to visit Pier 39 and the Golden Gate Bridge before heading to the big game. We ate yummy seafood at the Pier Market on Pier 39. We visited the spot where we were engaged, saw the sea lions, and did some shopping.

This huge ship was docked there.
You could barely see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background.

This picture shows what I always think of
when I think of Pier 39. Boats, sea lions, and
Alcatraz in the background.

Foggy

 Then we headed over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was so foggy, you could hardly see anything at first. Then all of a sudden it was clear and beautiful.

A bit clearer.

Clear and beautiful!

This is a shot from the other side of the bridge.
There were clouds that kept coming by real fast,
it was so neat to watch.
