Yesterday, Brody and I drove into San Fran to have lunch with some out of town friends. The weather in the city was awesome. It was clear, clear, clear! You could really see the city that normally likes to hide itself among the clouds. We had plans to meet them at Pier 39 to eat at Bubba Gump's restaurant. While waiting for our Texas friends, Brody & I were able to explore the pier and enjoy a nice afternoon in the city.
Anytime we go into the city we have to take an additional wardrobe. Today, we had to break out the fleece sweat shirts and hats. It was clear and very breezy.
Pier 39 is a huge tourist attraction in the city. Through out the pier there are spots designated as photo spots to catch awesome views of the city. The above photo is of the Bay Bridge going into Oakland.

Looking at Golden Gate Bridge
Alcatraz (aka The Rock)
We had a clear view of Coit Tower...
The landscaping through out the Bay area is amazing. I think Northern Californians are born with green thumbs because everything is so green and vibrant. Through out Pier 39 there are planters already blooming with spring flowers.
The sea lions, we are still waiting for all of them to return....

At the restaurant, we had a fabulous view of the bay. We could see the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz, and the Bay Bridge. There we helicopters, airplanes, police men cruising around in their boat, tour boats going back and forth to Alcatraz and Huge Tankers. This was Brody's first time to see a boat. Man we had a great view of all these boats moving through out the bay. 
Look Brody a boat!
Where did the boat go??
We ended the day by driving over the Golden Gate Bridge just as the sun was setting..... a nice afternoon in the city.
How fun! Ya'll are making some great memories. Don't get to comfortable though...we want you back in Texas!
