May Vacation...Day #6

So here we are...the final day of my vacation. I'm kind of glad that I've spaced the days out on my blog, because as I look through the pictures I am reminded of the great time that it was!

If this post gets hard to follow, it is because my son is watching Taladega Nights on Demand...which is a little distracting! :)

The time off went by way too quickly. I think I easily could have gone for another week or so...but vacations and spending time with friends is all about the quality of time and not the quantity.

So what were we going to do on the final day of vacation?
We started off the day by grabbing breakfast and heading out to find....

a CABLE CAR! 13 years in California and several trips to San Francisco, but I had never been on a cable car! It took a while to figure out where we needed to board and then it ended up dropping us off downtown where we had to get off the car and purchase a ticket to get back on...along with a few hundred other people!

It was fun...and NOW I can say I've been on a cable car!

After that, we decided to make our way (on foot) to Coit Tower. What an adventure. Scratch that. What a FUN adventure! The weather was great and the walk was extremely pleasant...especially the detour I suggested, up a zillion flights of stairs! I had the best ideas during the trip...a six hour car drive, climbing unending stairs...sometimes I think I'm better off shutting up and taking orders!

The view from Coit HAS to be one of the best in the city...

The walk back to the Pier was a little less strenous than earlier...this was when I caught a glimpse of this pigeon. I have never seen one with red eyes...

We strolled down the Pier and out onto a dock that had a few ships and then around to a fishing dock...



...where I witnessed another "first."

This sea gull was definitely enjoying his meal!

(I really enjoyed this statue. Not sure how much it cost, but if I were rich and had a way to bring it home, I would have purchased it!)

For lunch...Boudin Bread. I was all about the bread bowl, until I sat down and then I changed my mind...so much to choose from!

One month ago tomorrow I was just starting this amazing vacation...and now I'm ready for another one! :)

...Stay tuned!
