So we squeezed in…a heap. (shocking… I know!) We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, climbed Coit Tower, ate clam chowder at Fisherman’s Wharf, watched the colony of California sea lions, walked up some hills and then up more hills, went through the park, rode a cable car, hit some shops the kids were anxious to get to (anything with the name spy or sea in it), had great Chinese food, went down America’s crookedest street, enjoyed our time perusing the a great little art museum, spent some time with my dad's two brothers (Uncle Doug & Uncle Rob)  and just really enjoyed our weekend up where the temperatures were much~much cooler.

...shame we couldn't time it to be there at the same time!!

Coit Tower is a big climb, hey? You still ribbing Andrew for taking his time, "posing for a photo and all" part way through?

Our kids just LOOVVED hanging off the cable cars. We were at the Stratford, right there on Powell and just enjoyed seeing the cars go up and down.

The boys say hi, especially to your boys...

Love the new look too - you've got lighter hair again, hey?

I love it in San Francisco! Are you going to the Chocolate Festival on the weekend of Sept. 6-7th? I'm hoping to be there if I can get the day off. Did you know you can get an all day pass on the cable cars for 11 bucks? Did you guys go to the Sutro Bath House which is now just the skeleton of the original one...BUT there's a great place to eat at the top of the cliff next to the Cliff House called Louis'. Awesome cheeseburgers and a great view to boot!

Anyway, glad you guys had fun...there's just tons to see beyond the usual touristy stuff...I'm amazed that Paul didn't drag you to the Exploritorium where they filmed scenes from the Rock or to Alcatraz itself. Total guy stuff.

Did you not hit Ghirardelli Square?! I better stop, or I'll go on forever.
