Gen had a great plan for San Francisco, first the Full House house. The kids started getting into Full House a while ago through Fuller House and Gen and I watched the original as kids. It didn’t look like I pictured it. I have to go back and compare our photos to the tv series.
Next, we went to Golden Gate park. John was asleep so I chilled in the car while Gen and Mary took the kids into a very pretty park. John and I met up and the girls showed me a secret path through a grove of trees. On our way to the harbour, we saw the Three Sisters, a group of painted houses. Also, a traditional classic streetcar was stopped in the middle of the street. As we were waiting in traffic, I got out to take a picture. There was a car accident at the next intersection lower that allowed us by but the streetcar was stuck. Some of the streets of San Francisco were ridiculously steep, I can’t believe the grades we had to go up and down.
We found street parking and walked along the harbour. I got seafood chowder in a bread bowl on a recommendation. It was so delicious. Gen and Mary shopped for a while before Mary offered to buy us dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. We had a spectacular view of the harbour and Alcatraz. Dinner was delicious.
After dinner we looked at the sea lions hanging out on the dock before heading back to the car. We needed to get out of San Fran and head north. We didn’t have a spot to stay near the city, this is the constant problem whenever we want to visit a city (except L.A. thanks to the mountains). We drove north for two hours towards Redwood National Park. We settled into a roadside pullout on a quiet country road for the night.
