Over spring break, I went to San Francisco. on the plane to and from, I watched 2 seasons of Doctor Who. When we got there, we went to Ghiradelli square and had chocolate. A lot of it. The next day, we went to Muir woods to see the California redwoods. The ones we saw weren't small, but they weren't giant. Still cool, though. After that, we had burgers at a really really good burger place. There are a lot of really good burger places in San Francisco. After that, we went to Alcatraz, which was very interesting. They had audio tours, which made it a lot better. The next day, we went to Hyde Street Pier, which has a bunch of old boats that are really awesome. I'll put a picture on here if I can find one. We also saw the Bay Bridge lights. There is a second bridge near the Golden Gate bridge that is trying to outdo the Golden gate by putting lights on it. We also had dinner at a place called Harrington's. Haha. The next day, we took a cable car to Chinatown and walked around there. Next, we went to Alamo square to see these houses that all look the same called the painted ladies. They are suppose to be all really bright colors, but it didn't really look like it. Disappointing. We also went to the DeYoung Art Museum, which was incredibly boring. The Next day, we walked down Lombard street, which is a curvy, steep street. We walked up to Coit Tower, which has an amazing view of the city. We walked to the Filbert steps, which is inhabited by cats. Next we went to the California Academy of Sciences, which had mostly biology. I don't like biology... . After that we ran back to the hotel room to watch the live episode of Psych. The next day, we took a ferry to Sausalito, which is across the bay. I call it Rich-people-Town. Literally 1 in 2 cars was at least $100k. At least. In Sausalito, we went to the army corps of engineers model of the bay. It used to be used for tests on what canals and things would do to the bay, but then they made a computer program to do that. So now, they just use it as a model for tourists to see. It's 2 acres, and I could recognize almost none of it since it's the entire San Francisco bay and rivers flowing into it. The next day, we flew back for 4 hours, where I watched more Doctor Who.
I thought it was really fun. We saw pretty much everything, so I probably wouldnt go back until I'm 21, but I would recomend that you go there if you can.
