Several years ago, before Rob Fisher and Pam got serious about each other, Rob came to visit us in California. Because he had never been there before, we took him to SF for a fun day, and showed him all the strange and wonderful things there. We called it Rob's Big San Francisco Adventure.
So when Nate came to visit us this weekend, we did the same for him. It was pretty dicey as we left YC. The forecast was 100% chance of rain with winds up to 17 mph.
But it turned out to be one of the this year's "Four Christmas Miracles." A seen above, the weather was clear and warm all morning. We took a bunch of great photos (which was good, because it turned cloudy and we got a little rain later when we were at Pier 39).
Below is one of the best photos of the day. Cute couple. and the breakers in the background, framed by the Golden Gate Bridge with the Marin headlands in the distance. It was a great morning!
While David, Kim, and Nate were taking a long long on a short pier, getting visited by a huge pelican, Mom and I checked out the old fort built in the 1850's to protect the entrance to SF Bay. Below you can see three shots of one of the canon ports (there were dozens of them, on three different levels - and more canons on top). You can see the ocean though the last one.
And below is the prettiest girl on the trip, standing in front of the light house on top of the fort. It was fun to see, but it was so windy and cold out there on the point (and we were getting hungry) that we left and drove to Pier 39 to get something to eat.
It was a really fun day. We got clam chowder bowls at the Pier, and walked out to see the ships. What a blast!
