So for the second half of spring break, I went to San Francisco to visit my uncle. I got to San Francisco on Thursday, and I left on Sunday. I had to take two flights on Thursday. My first flight was to Los Angeles, and then I had to take a connecting flight to San Francisco. When I got there, my uncle took me to Golden Gate Park, and after going around the park, we went to a science museum in the park, and it was really interesting. After that, we went to some of the other public parks in San Francisco, which were really amazing. The next day, we went down to the Bay Harbor and visited some of the piers, including pier 39, where we saw a lot of sea lions. We also went to the Coit Tower, where we had a great view of the whole city. Then, we went bowling, which was only about a block and a half away from his apartment. After that, we went to a San Francisco Giants spring training game, and AT&T Park (where the Giants play) is only about 2 blocks away from my uncle's apartment, so it was easy to get to both places.The next day, we went to a place called Sutro Hills. San Francisco is on the west coast of a peninsula that stretches off the mainland of California, and Sutro Hills is on the east side of the peninsula. Sutro Hills is right along the Pacific Ocean, and there were ruins of "housing" where people suffering from leukemia and tuberculosis would go to try to heal themselves. It didn't work, but some of the foundations are still there, and we were able to walk on and across them, which was really fun. There was also a gigantic piece of rock jutting out of the water that we were able to walk in. There were sort of little caves in the rock, which we were able to explore. We were also able to go to the top of the rock and look over the cliff and see for many miles. After that, we went to some other places that I can't remember, and to finish off the night, we went to Oakland and saw a Golden State Warriors game. We didn't do much on Sunday except for going to the airport and on my flight home, we stopped in San Diego, and while in the plane, I could see the gigantic naval base there, and there were a lot of huge battleships, aircraft carriers, and other various vessels. Overall, the trip was great.
