So…we are back from our vacation to San Fran! We had SUCH a good time! We definitely took advantage of every second and fit a lot into 5 days. Here are some pictures - hope you enjoy 
Monday night, after we checked into our hotel and ate lunch, we went to see the San Francisco Giants play Arizona. 
The coolest thing about the game was we saw Barry Bonds hit his 725th home run! Here is Barry (#25) out in left field. The Giants won that night!
Tuesday morning we rode the cable car from Union Square down to Fisherman’s Wharf. Here I am hanging off of the cable car.
Later that afternoon, we rented a Mini Cooper Convertible and drove down the Pacific Coast to Monterey/Carmel. That car was so much fun!
We took the scenic 17 mile drive and saw beautiful sights such as the 18th hole at Pebble Beach golf course, and the Lone Cypress (below). Then we ate dinner in the quaint town of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Wednesday morning we woke up and drove to Sterling Vineyards for the 11am tour. We chose this winery because they have a cable car that takes you to the top of a huge hill that overlooks the entire Napa Valley. It was SO gorgeous!
Thursday we were back in the city, and we decided to bike from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito. Here’s a shot I took while we were on our bike ride. It was SO foggy!
Ok, are you ready for a dorky looking picture? Don’t laugh too hard! Thursday night we toured the city via Segway. It was SO cold, so we had to borrow jackets (of course the only size they had was XL) and they made us wear helmets too. We were laughing so hard at ourselves at how dorky we looked :) But it was SO much fun!!! These things go up to 12 miles per hour. If you have about $4500 sitting around, go get one. (I’m trying to convince Justin that we need one to get around our neighborhood but I haven’t convinced him yet ) Just kidding of course!
On Friday, we did all sorts of touristy stuff, like eating Clam Chowder out of a Sourdough Bread Bowl. YUM!
Friday night we went on the night tour of Alcatraz. It was pretty interesting. Here is "The Rock". 
We had such a good vacation!!
