Ahhhh! It's just gorgeous!

For those of you who know me best you didn't have to guess where the most beautiful place in America is according to me! I LOVE SF!!! I just can't get enough of it. From as early as I can remember I wanted to live there, and from 1999-2001 I was able to do that. It still holds some of my favorite memories. Anyway, enough about me. We only got to spend one day in SF, and really not even the whole day. By this time in our trip we had been running around crazy, but I just couldn't bring my friends to CA without showing them this beautiful city. So on July 3 we headed to SF. WE didn't try to leave early in the morning, we just took our time. Our plan was to spend the morning in SF and then head across the bay to Oakland to see an A's game that evening. We walked around Pier 39, ate lunch, and then headed to Ghirardelli Square for some ice cream. It was SO good! We felt a bit rushed and didn't really get to see as much of San Francisco as we woudl have liked, but it was still beautiful. It was a gorgeous day. I had warned the Swanson's that SF was usually cold and foggy, but much to our surprise it was sunny and warm the day we went. It was amazing. I lived there for two years and saw very few days like that, we were blessed. After our huge ice cream sundaes we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. What a sight!

Then we went to the A's game. We got to see the A's beat the Blue Jays!!! After the game, since it was July 3, we got to see a fireworks show. This meant we were allowed to go onto the field and watch fireworks from the very grass that the A's play on. The fireworks were amazing, we were so glad we stayed to watch them! Yup, we had this Texan wearing A's gear and doing the wave...and he LOVED it! Go A's!

Our final stop on our trip is up next!
