San Francisco trip - part 1

I haven't really said much about our trip to San Francisco here, in case you didn't notice.  Here are some pictures:

The Left Hand Store - stuff for Emma...

Alcatraz.  We didn't make it over there, because there were no available tickets for that weekend.  We didn't have a lot of planning time prior to the trip...

Fish and chips.

Why are these people smiling?  Because their kids are several states away, driving their Grandmother crazy...

We stayed down by Fisherman's Wharf.  We did not go fishing.

Weeping Angels.

The TransAmerica building, from the street.

Cable cars.  We didn't actually ride one, the line was much too long.

This street looked much steeper from the bus.  The picture loses something in translation.

This was about all we got of the Golden Gate bridge, all weekend.  We did ride the bus across, in the full fog, you almost could see to the top while driving across, but not quite.

Chinatown.  We were there on what must have been market day.  This picture does not do justice to the chaos that was there.  Tara did not appreciate the fish heads.

We ate at a random place in Chinatown.  I'm not sure what we ordered, but it was good.  Tara had something that included fried spaghetti.  We also found a bookstore down there, and were able to get some fairly cheap kids books in simplified Mandarin for the kids.

Good trip.  Thanks again for watching the kids, Mom.
