San Francisco, California

Stop One: In and Out Burger


For our first San Francisco stop we enjoyed a famous In and Out Burger! We walked in, ordered 55 cheeseburger combos and they had us in and out of there in less than half an hour! Everyone loved the burgers, they are truly some of the best burgers that you can eat.


Here is the group standing outside the In and Out Burger waiting for their dinner! There was not an unhappy face after they ate.





Stop Two: Fisherman's Wharf and The Golden Gate Bridge


We enjoyed plenty of free time in the Wharf area. Everyone ventured down to the famous Pier 39 and ate at the local restaurants. On our second day in San Francisco we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge! What an amazing experience!





These piers are put here for the sea lions!



A view of Alcatraz from the Wharf area!

This is the view from Golden Gate Park, just before the walk across.

Stop Three: Oakland ,The A's and the Yankees


Despite the cool Oakland tempratures the group had a blast at the baseball game.

Batter up........


McKenzie and Barney are soooo cold they are willing to use a pink blanket.






There is a story behind this group of pictures. There was a contest in the ball park. If you were cheering really loud, they would put you on the big screen. So, David set out on a mission to be on the screen. Everyone else just enjoyed his performance.















Stop Four: Alcatraz
In the early morning hours, we ventured over to The Rock. Everyone was a little tired and used the ferry ride across the channel to wake up. Once we were on the island, we raced to the top where the prison house was located. Everyone participated in the audio tour and was impressed with the penitentiary. They were fascinated by the history of the facility.























Stop Five: The Chinatown Restaurant
We enjoyed an authentic Chinese meal in China Town. There was fun had by all as we feasted on the family style dinner.
