San Francisco Treat

We finally made it to San Francisco to have the "tourist" experience. Don't worry though, we made sure not to pull out the map too many times so we didn't look like tourists. I don't know what San Francisco looks like every other day down by the piers but Saturday was a crazy, busy day. In a way it kind of put a damper on the trip because it was hard to stop and see what we wanted to see because if we didn't keep on moving we would be trampled over. I'd have to say though for the time we were there we were able to see the sites I wanted to see. Our first stop was Pier 39 where we saw and heard the Sea Lions. It was amazing how many of them were sunbathing in the same spot where all the tourists could catch a glimpse of them and snap a picture or two. Emmalyn liked the noises they made, maybe it was because she had heard her dad, that's right her dad and NOT mom, make them over and over in preparation for our trip to Pier 39. There were many street entertainers that we stopped to watch; one that played a recorder, another that juggled tennis balls and several artists that painted beautiful scenic pictures of the city. We made our way through Fisherman's Wharf on down to Ghiradelli Square, where we stopped for a sweet treat; boy did we deserve it after the long walk. I think roundtrip we walked over 4 miles. We tried to hop on to a cable car but the line just to get on was extremely long and I wasn't about to stop while I still had the energy to walk. Emmalyn was asleep by the time we got to the BART and was such a trooper the whole day. She didn't complain once even though it was a LONG day. What a rockstar baby we have!!
