San Francisco Day 3

The Brown's left us on day three (Friday). Their daughter needed to be back in Provo for her ACT test on Saturday. So they caught an afternoon flight back. So, over the Golden Gate bridge and lunch at a cafe in Sausalito. Sarah actually ordered spaghetti with mussels. I was ready to give her credit for trying and she surprised us all and finished them all. She's such an adventurous soul. After brunch we headed to Muir Woods.
Some of the tallest redwoods known (coastal redwoods) grow along the northern coast of California. Even taller than the Sequoia's of Sequoia National Park. This particular grove has been protected since 1900. You can see behind the girls a cross section of one of the trees. Very old, but very skinny. The coastal redwood shoots straight up then begins to fill out and it's just the opposite for the Sequoia, I guess. At least that's what I got from the brochures.
Kinda hard to entertain some kids in a forest. "It's just trees, Daddy!"

Sisterly love!!!
Girl Power!!!


A bright, sunny spot in the grove of 250 foot tall trees.


Stay on the path.

Pixies in fern gully.


I just thought this was funny. I looked back and the girls were intently photographing every little twig, fern, rivulet and bug.


One of the many walk through trees.

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Looks like a rock in the creek doesn't it? It's a log from a long time ago. We hiked probably two miles on this trip.


Back in downtown San Francisco Sarah wanted to get her picture in front of the statue dedicated to Lillie Hitchcock Coit. She's the one the Coit Tower is named after. Did I tell you her story? When she was a young girl she was recued by firefighters and she was enamored with them from then on. This is a statue dedicated to the firemen who rescued her. Sarah loves this statue. She's (Sarah not Lillie) not grumpy, she just woke up from her nap back over the GG bridge.

Back to Coit Tower. This time it was open so we went up inside to the top to look out at the city. This is looking south toward the Market District with the Transamerica Pyramid.

After Coit Tower we headed to Ghirardeli Square for dinner at McCormick & Kuleto's. It's an upscale restaurant that overlooks SF Bay and the Olympic Swim Club of San Francisco. This was the view out the window we were sitting at for our dinner.

Hello there, I do believe your site could be having web browser
compatibility problems. Whenever I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks
fine however, when opening in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, wonderful site!
