Visitors

Last weekend Jacob and Kelly came to visit! We really enjoyed spending quality time with our good friends from college. There was sightseeing in San Fransisco, exploring Mt. Diablo, and even a few games of Settlers.



 Golden Gate Bridge

This is a great view of the East side of the bridge. We were able to find a parking lot for Fort Mason (Battery East), and walk to the first tower of the bridge. We even saw a few dolphins on the bay side of the bridge as we walked across.



There is "The Rock".


The lighthouse on Alcatraz.

The "Agave Trail" was open during our visit. We were able to walk along the trail on the edge of the island for a close up view of the water. I am standing in front of the warning sign that can be seen by boaters approaching the island.

Greg and I walking along the trail, look how close the water is!!


We headed to Pier 39 for dinner and shopping. Greg became part of the performers show unexpectidlley, but willingly. He held the stick with the rope and helped catch the spiner to toss to the person below.


Sea Lions at Pier 39. It was quite entertainig to watch them fight for a good spot. They often lay on top of one another or push each other into the water.


Making sourdough bread at Boudin Bakery.


We enjoyed delicious ice cream sundaes at Ghiradelli Square!

Check out the sign as we approach the "crookedest" street in
the world, also known as Lombard St.

Here are some views as we drove down Lombard St.



On the second day of their visit, Greg convinced everyone to head to Mt. Diablo State Park. We did some hiking and climbing in "Rock City", drove to the summit, and had a pinic lunch. It was a great way to enjoy some of the beautiful things God created! Here are some of our favorite pictures.
