Cali Day 2 Touring San Francisco

This morning our personal tour guide Hannah came to our hotel and took us to one of her favorite things to do which is going to the farmers market on pier 1.  We decided to walk because it was a beautiful morning. All of the walks we have taken with Hannah have been really cool because she also gives us a little history lesson about the buildings and the area.  By the way special thanks to Paula and Mark for sending Hannah to USF all the money you are spending on college is really paying off and we truly appreciate our own private tour guide, as a matter of fact we have enjoyed it so much we are thinking about going to Chicago next to see Racheal.

This is where we ate breakfast.

This was our entertainment.

Here is our group.  I told them the key to getting a group picture taken is too make sure we can outrun the person who we have asked to take the picture or to make sure they have a better camera than us so they will not be interested in ours.


 




Anybody got a nice chianti?


This is cool I think I want to try eating here before we leave.


Our next place to visit was alcatraz. This is really an awesome place, as long as you are coming and going on your own free will. They say the worst part about alcatraz was the fact that you could here and see everything going on in the city around them.








After this we went and ate at Hard Rock  Cafe then met up with Hannah again and went on Mr. Toads tour which was really cool/cold.  We like to froze our butts off. Afterwards we went to ghiradelli square and had hotfudge sundaes we will post those pics later.

California Day 1

This is where we are staying. We got a wonderful surprise when checking in The Lafranconi's had a welcome to San Francisco gift bag with homemade zuchinni bread, wine and a ton of other stuff.










 

The pictures are posted in no particular order I will have to contact my IT person an find out how to put them in order.  We went to Pier 39 and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp for lunch  then went shopping for the afternoon we took the bus back to the hotel and met up with Hannah and went to dinner at the Stinking Rose a garlic resteraunt. Excellent food we all stunk last night.

Flying




I can't brag or say enough about our experience with Southwest. The Indianapolis airport and the Phoenix airport. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Going thru airport security at Indianapolis was like going to a mini comedy show. The first guy that was leading us in was pointing out all of the art work in the room and on the walls and telling how it all kinda looked liked wings of airplanes and that was to help us get into the "flying frame of mind" sorry not one of us took any pictures of the art we were really being slackers. Then we put all of our stuff on the conveyors and proceeded to random scanning.  3 out 5 of us got body scanned and Dad got frisked for making bunny ears while in the machine. All baggage arrived in Cali and only mine was searched.
