San Francisco!!

Because Terry is the head of the school board (ok even when he wasn't) 

they go to a conference every year in April.

 Usually we (Meghan, mom, and I) go with him. We have been to 

California, Florida and other places for it. This year it was in 

San Francisco. I had never been and I am so happy I got to go this time. 

It is such a wonderful place full of culture and history. 

We had such a fun time.

We flew in Friday night and went straight to the hotel. 

We woke up early Saturday morning and walked to China town. 

It was such a fun place, full of little shops selling all sorts of stuff for super cheap. 

I bought tons of junk (ok not junk but stuff I really did not need) like bracelets and chopsticks and fun little things like that. We got to eat lunch in an authentic little

Chinese restaurant too. We rode a trolley back into downtown and did a little

shopping (H&M!!!) That night Terry joined us while we went and explored pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf. 

We got to eat at Bubba Gump's. Soo good. We had fun exploring all around the pier and watched the 

sea lions and lots of other things. 

Sunday we woke up and went to church.

Haha we always go to church while on vacation but we see a lot of different people. 

Then we went back to the pier and to the Hard Rock Cafe, and explored a little more. We went to the wax museum too which was also pretty sweet. 

Then back to the hotel for rest. After T and D went to dinner with the rest of the group. 

M and I went on an epic adventure around the pier and mastered the trolley system 

while looking for alcatraz tours and dinner. We ended up eating at a place close to our hotel 

and waiting for the rents to come back to the hotel. 

Monday we went back to the pier to see alcatraz tours 

and there were no tours for the time we could go so that kinda sucked. But thats ok, we got

to do soo much stuff anyway. We also went back to china town before we had to leave to catch our plane home. Over all it was such a good trip and I am so happy with it...

Next up... New York CITY!!!

 T, me, and M in front of Alcatraz

 T and I walked down to the bay bridge (about 3/4 miles from our hotel)

and around by the other piers and by the Trans America building. Seriously one of the coolest buildings I have ever seen.
