SAN FRANCISCO

We were home for one night and then headed to the city to show Jared's brother around. 

We stayed overnight to get the most time in and not deal with traffic. Aubrey was happy to be back in a hotel. 

Our view:

We finally rode the cable cars. 

Aubrey and I stayed at the hotel for dinner while Jared and Kyle went out in hopes I could rest and Aubrey would go to bed. No such luck. She was pretty wired. After many attempts of getting her to stay in bed, she must have sensed my frustration. She went to the desk and wrote me this note. 

The next day we went to Alcatraz, Aubrey was pretty excited as she had never been. I was impressed that she listened to the whole audio tour and was interested in everything!

She even drew a picture on a postcard that was collected for inmates in other jails. It was a picture of a man in black and white striped clothes. 

Last time we were here the above hospital area was not open so it was nice to see something new. 

Then we went to a lookout over the city that the guys found the night before. 

Then we headed across the Golden Gate bridge. 

It was a nice day. 

After that we headed down hwy 1 to meet up for a bonfire with Nicole & Spencer. 

We stopped at Shark tooth beach to watch the sunset. 

Aubrey and I stayed up top while the guys climbed down to the beach. If you look closely below to the closest water line you will see a dead whale 😞. 

We saw lots of bunnies.
