On our last day in San Francisco we decided to try to wrap up some of the stuff we really wanted to check out. After we checked out of our hotel we remembered to take a shot of our hotel’s sign.
And the pizza place we ate at that is down below.
Here I am hanging off of a cable car in that wonderful tourist way.
Here we are on the cable car heading towards the far end by the water.
Levi and I kept hanging onto the hand holds at the same time. I think he may have been copying me. It was pretty cute.
Here’s Levi operating the break. The cable car people are really nice. I think they were probably some of the nicest Muni employees, so they got that job.
Here’s the cable car we rode out.
Near Ghirardeli Square and Fisherman’s Wharf we saw a tour of Segways. Its funny to see them zipping by.
Near the end of the line there is a dock with a large old sail boat.
In the Square they have topless mermaids and a fountain. The kids behind us were throwing money in to make wishes.
Levi decided to make a wish too. I think he wished he could play in the water.
Here we are as he points at the mermaid. I’m not sure what captivated him so much.
When the cable cars get to the end of the line they are manual turned around.
They turn those things around pretty fast.
Sometimes only one of them spins it while they others just help stop it.
Levi liked looking out the window on the cable car watching everything go by.
We went to Lombard Street. It is pretty darn curvy. We didn’t drive down it, instead we took the cable car, since it stops right there.
Here I am with Levi at the top.
I later went down and took some more shots. The road is paved with bricks. Its very old school. It has some really pretty landscaping.
Another angle.
At the end of the line going back we asked if Levi could ring the bell on the cable car. He was excited every time they did it and would clap his hands.
Once he got a hold on the bell pull he went crazy. I basically had to drag him away to stop him.
After the cable car we went to the mall for lunch while Levi got a nap. They have a very fancy mall food court near Union Square. After his nap Levi was ready to go. We went to Yerba Buena Gardens and played for a bit. Here’s Levi flying around.
There was a family visiting from Italy and Levi turned on his magic. He had an older Italian woman flirting with him. He’s quite the lady’s man.
After the park we headed down to San Jose. It was the last day of our trip and the next morning Kendra and Levi headed home. I stayed for several days of work meetings at Ames Research Center.
Left My Heart In…
Faith, Hope and Lullabies
I recently found a Facebook group for a CD called Faith, Hope and Lullabies. You can view their website here. Today they are giving away free CD’s if you blog about them on your site. Please go check them out! You can listen to some of the songs on the side bar of my blog.
Fisherman’s Wharf
After escaping from Alcatraz we walked down to fisherman’s wharf. We got to see the sea lions out there. Levi thought this was a lot of fun. There were a couple of them wrestling with each other. The first one would push the second one into the water. The second one would swim around to the other side, get back up and push the first one in. All the while they were barking at each other. It was funny.
Here they are sleeping by their sign. Most of them looked quite comfy.
Here’s the two wrestlers.
Here’s Kendra and Levi with his normal face for the trip.
He was a lot happier once he was picked up to see what was going on.
After the sea lions we went to eat. We went to Boudin cafe, at this place that is famous for sourdough bread. They are baking it all day long. This contraption is used to move the bread from the baking area to the sales area.
Here’s some of the cool bread shapes they make.
Some more.
And more.
This is in the bakery area.
And here’s some ready to bake
There is another picture that should have gone up with this one that I’ll upload later. They have a baker standing there talking to the crowd. She was hamming it up and was talking to Levi. When she was done she told us to meet her to the side. She brought out a little sourdough bear with a hula skirt on it. We should have a picture of it somewhere as well. Here’s Levi showing his appreciation of carbs.
The sign for Fisherman’s Wharf.
And here we are on the street car heading back towards our hotel after a long day.
More to come.
Fun around the house
We went to my Moms one afternoon and Levi loved running around their yard. He loves the outdoors.
Playing with a new book light that Daddy has.
Watching the birds and dogs.
On a walk with Nana.
This is a thing that keeps tortillas warm. Also makes a good hat.
