Summary:

Day 2 Began with a short walk from the Fisherman's Wharf Marriott to Fisherman's Wharf... Home of the fish market's, historic restaurants, world Famous Pier 39 and, of course... a spectacular view of Alcatraz. (When first spotted in the Bay, Alcatraz is simply breathtaking.) We spent a few hours wandering around Fisherman's Wharf, taking some amazing pictures. We then went back to the hotel and checked out. (Dad forgot the cable for the camera/laptop hook-up and had to buy one in Seattle. Ooops!)

From the hotel we drove a few blocks to Ghiradelli Square and then north to Golden Gate Park. The park is HUGE and would take a least a full day to explore. But, we only had a short while! Then, it was on to the Vista Point for pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco skyline. (We stopped on both the south and north side of the bridge.) It's amazing how nice people are to me!

After we crossed the GG Bridge we made our way north on Hwy 101 up through the wine country and the beautiful redwoods. As the trees cleared and the Pacific Ocean came in view we had to stop and get a picture of Redwood State Beach. Dad made it as far as Cresent City (just south of the Oregon border) and we called it a night!

Enjoy the pictures! They are truly wonderful! Talk to you from Seattle!

Fondly,

Jordan
