We flew into Oakland from Kansas where Dale picked us up and we played tourist one last time in the Bay area. It was a lot of fun and we did and saw some cool sites. We drove into San Francisco and checked off one of our (possibly only me) bucket list sites.
Sing it with me "Whatever happened to predictability, the milkman, the paperboy, the evening tv!......" Can you remember Full House!?!?!! YES! We love that show and stopped by to see a few familiar scenes!
This isn't the exact house, At least I don't think so, they are all painted differently and most of them have trees right in front so you can't get a good shot while driving by. But if it isn't the same house, It's on the same street and is a close neighbor :)
Some more 'painted ladies'
It was a beautiful afternoon in San Francisco, what a fun city to explore. Not necessarily fun to drive it, but luckily I married the best chauffeur with installed gps who takes me fun places and caters to my weird bucket list.
Driving down Lombard Street, so fun to do.
Who knows why anyone would ever want to live near here, there are always So Many People!
The next morning we headed down to pick up Dane, he happened to be over-nighting in San Francisco (good timing with us there) so we picked him up and had a great afternoon. This is him landing!
Not the best weather today. It was so cold!
We intended to go to Muir Woods but by the time we got there there were so many people! We would have had to park 3 miles away and walk to the entrance. Plus, we were unprepared with warm clothes and hiking shoes, and it was freezing. So we continued driving and found Muir beach. It was a nice short stop due to the cold.
We instead drove up to the Oakland temple. Dane showed us where the missionaries live, they have quite the view.
After dropping Dane off at his hotel we drove home. It was so nice to be home after almost 2 weeks.

You are having some nice little mini trips. Fun to see the pictures
I love your first city picture! It is amazing but then actually ALL your pictures are great. The family by the temple and Will in front of the temple. What great memories you are creating!
That was the only thing we didn't do in SF the last time we were there was see the "painted ladies". I wanted to, but our friend didn't know where they were and it was before we had iPhones with GPS! That house looks so like the Full House house though!! Love it! We did all those other things though! I also read online that they are going to be closing Lombard Street to vehicle traffic because the people living there don't like it. Bummer!
