San Francisco

This is the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I learned a lot about What people consider art here but it was a lot of fun, since Whit and I both work in an art museum now.

The grate I'm standing on allows you to see 5 stories straight down. Kind of trippy.

The Lorie's Diners were on every corner it seemed like. Good burgers and fun times.

We took to the city life like fish to water.

Lumbard Street. The curviest street in the world. If only I took my long board....

The sea lions sit and bark on the pier all day. They smell bad but they are a hoot and a half to watch.

We went on a short trip around the bay in a tour boat. This is when we're heading out.

It was kind of windy. You can tell my hairs thinning.

There were some old battle ships harbored along the shore that people tour.

It was huge! It creeps out of the clouds and low lying fog.

We circled around Alcatraz and the captain of the boat told us about escape stories and all the history of the island.

We go suckered into a cheap pearl ($9) to open your very own! We thought it was a steal!

Part of the custom is to tap three times and ring a bell and say "aloha!" Goodbye oyster, hello pearl.

We thought that this is where the pearl story would end but the lady really just wanted to sell us really expensive settings for Whitney's pearl. We shut her down and she seemed much less friendly after that.

Turns out I love starfish...who knew?

Food on the wharf is just so good. The candied apples were a treat.

I won.

It is a longstanding tradition to get bread bowls on the wharf with clam chowder

Good ol' blazing saddles. We rented bikes for all of our 3rd day. It was a blast but our saddles were definitely blazing by the end of the day.

The exploritorium. All kinds of fun science activities. We had to push the 7th graders out of the way.

In Japan Town you can see the remnants of alien space craft.

If you are going to china town- avoid the Chinese Eatery. Unless you want to throw up.

WOOT WOOT!!! Riding the trolly car. Work'n it. Work'n it.

I call this piece "blueberry with hat"

I think this was my favorite part- biking the bridge. Spitting on seagulls.

Whitney and I hit our last stop in San Francisco- The Legion of Honor, which is a fine art museum. You know the type: Monet, Picasso, Annie Liebowitz, and statues of naked people- that sort of stuff. We love you guys- sorry we're blog hogs- but it's just so fun!!
