We flew in to California on Thursday afternoon. When we got there we trudged up the mountain (or road) with all of our luggage until we saw the MARRIOTT sign and knew the sweat would soon stop running down our faces! After we freshened up a bit we headed out into the city for shopping, food, and fun! That night we went to WICKED! I truly loved it so much that I was crying at the end! It was awesome!
Friday we did a lot of shopping, sight seeing, eating, and shopping. Saturday we did the exact same. Really, that is what we did the entire time and it was SO fun! The last time I went to San Fran I was like 12 and I do NOT remember it being a mini New York! I absolutely loved the whole city atmosphere as well as being down at the wharf. It was a trip that we for sure need to do again, again, and again! You up for that ladies? Thanks mom for putting this all together for us! And thank you DAD for making it happen! ;)
(be prepared for many many pictures!)
Waiting at the airport to board the plane...
The grannies...
The young bucks...
Transportation TO downtown SF. (Subway, Bus)
First impression...We were so angry with these people blocking the road because the trolleys weren't running. That meant that my poor grandma had to hike all the way of to our hotel! GRRR!
Getting to the hotel...
WICKED!
I paid 50 cents to take this picture so please look long and hard. Maybe even use it for your background. This was at the fortune cookie factory.
Friday was a rainy day so we bought umbrellas from china town for like 3 bucks. Well, we know WHY they were 3 bucks. We ended up making a joke out of it say that the umbrella that doesn't break wins. No one won...I thought I had a picture of Kaydee...hers was murked!
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
After we got our look at the bridge, we were ready to head back but that didn't happen! A bus did not come for the longest time. We waited a good 1 1/2-2 hours! Since it was pretty chilly we were doing lunges, squats, and anything we could think of to keep us warm. And anything is right, one of the guys waiting taught us a little somethin' somethin'. I may have pulled a muscle or two!
FISHERMAN'S WHARF
CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE
Now this was an experience. I won't even go there, but let me just say I have never been so excited to escape a parade before. And grandmas oh how I am proud of you for taking that first move! It was a great sight watching Pooper hurry as fast as her little legs could carry her as the cop was debating rather or not to let her off! Good work ladies!
We ended that night with ice cream Sundays. The place that we went to had long steep stares which isn't good for grandmas. So instead they took the TINY elderly/handicap only elevator. It was probably the funniest thing ever. The elevator was the size of....a linen closet.
And just a few more pictures of random things...
