Babymoon The Finale

So this whole splitting up our trip into different posts was apparently not the best idea I've ever had, considering the fact that it's taken me like 3 weeks to finish posting about our short, one weekend trip. However, this is the last post about it and then we can move on to more important posts like updates on my cervix and whatnot. (ha!)

Anyway...where were we....ah yes...the last day of our trip. We woke up on Monday and after getting dressed and packing up our stuff, we walked to Starbucks for breakfast. We had signed up for a City Tour on a bus that would pick us up from our hotel, so after grabbing our coffee and pastries, we walked back to wait for the bus. The shuttle picked us up and took us to the tour office where we loaded onto a big bus. As we were all getting on, there was an elderly couple who was being helped onto the bus in front of us and was told to sit in the front so that they could get on and off easily. The guy helping them then noticed that a big pregnant lady (being me of course) was in line next to get on the bus and therefore commented to the driver "man, you've got all kinds of people on your bus today, I sure hope you know first aid!" I said "oh so now I'm a kind of person cause I'm pregnant..ha ha.." Anyway, we did get to sit right up front since I was pregnant and the man thought it would be easier for me to sit there than to have to walk up and down the bus aisle. He was right and it was much appreciated! So anyway, our tour began and we got to see a lot of the city of San Francisco. We saw Alcatraz from a distance, the Golden Gate Bridge, Ghirardelli Square (where we had already been), The Fisherman's Wharf, the Full House houses, downtown, Chinatown, Little Italy, the Capitol building, rich people's homes, famous people's homes, Lumbar Street (the really twisted street), a stop in Golden Gate Park where we walked through a Japanese garden, a view of the whole city from the Twin Peaks, and I'm sure much more. I'll just show you pictures rather than try to describe each individual place. Anyway, we had a great time on the tour and it lasted over 4 hours long so we got to see so much more than we would have if we had tried to do it all on our own. After the tour we went back to the hotel, loaded up the car and headed home on a long drive down a boring Hwy 5 and got back home around 11 that night to a very excited Molly Bear!

Here are all of our pics in no particular order:

Lumbar Street - it was made like this so that horses could pull carts down the really steep street a long time ago

Chinatown

The Capitol Building

The houses from Full House - The Tanner Residence is the first one on the left. It's been painted green since the show where it was blue

Don't really remember what this was but these were huge legs sticking out of a window

A cool Japanese building that was in the bonzai garden
