In the city by the bay...

Friday, July 25, 2008

A good Syracuse pal was just here for a couple of days and aside from him getting a parking ticket and his car getting broken into, we had a great time! It certainly helps that he has a great attitude and is a very positive person... and that insurance covered the broken window completely.

So wednesday we walked down to the bay where we enjoyed some free chocolate and wine at Ghirardelli Square:

Then, we walked along the water where we watched the herd of sailboats drifting in the bay. There's a Festival of Sail this week so we enjoyed the lovely view along with the other tourists. Next we stopped at Hyde St. Pier and explored the old restored ships for free. (Yay for Jordan's National Parks pass!):

Jordan took many pictures with his fancy camera (which fortunately wasn't in the car when someone broke into it). This was the view from atop the ferry:

On the way to meet Chip to see "The Dark Knight" we hopped a cable car. Extra touristy? Yes. Extra fun? Absolutely!
