San Francisco, California

Yesterday, we got to San Francisco. After some drama when trying to find a big enough car, we finally settled for a ford expedition, and put my suitcase in the middle row. We then went to an In-N-Out burger and got shakes. It was delicious! We went over the Golden Gate Bridge on our way to Dillon Beach. The reason that we went there was that it is the spot where my dad proposed. It was my parents’ first time back there since my dad proposed. I climbed a pretty big boulder. Also, the sand there was so ground up that it almost felt like liquid. There were steep sand dunes that I jumped down and got buried ankle-deep. We got a few pictures, and then went to the hotel to check in. On the way, we saw a lot of super skinny cows. When you go over the Golden Gate Bridge, it is like a whole new world. It went from city to farms in, like, 20 minutes. When we got to the hotel, we got ready to go to fisherman’s wharf. There were a lot of street performers. One was a man holding another man in one arm, while holding on to a pole off the ground with the other arm. We went to a dinner place called the Crab House. I got clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl, and it was so good! We headed back to the hotel, and that was the end of day one.

TODAY

Today, we are going to visit Alcatraz, take a cable car to Chinatown, visit the USS Pampanito, and maybe even go a bike ride!
