Lombard Street
Golden Gate Bridge (Vista Point)

Dinner at Zen Peninsula
We started off with a stop at Lombard St. It was a nice day for some sights and pictures.
We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge for a stop at Vista Point. Still a little foggy over the Bridge…

We got to Sausalito, CA and shopped around the stores. The weather was great and we had lunch out on the patio.
After Sausalito, we headed out to Muir Woods National Monument. Unfortunately, no dogs were allowed in and since I had already been there, I decided to stay behind while the others took a quick trip through the woods.
Heading back in to the City, we were stuck in traffic for a good hour or so but we got back just in time to get ready for dinner with my family. We had a banquet dinner at the same place my brother and his wife had their wedding reception, Zen Peninsula.
Tomorrow, we head out to Napa Valley for some wine country experience!

A Family Visit From Japan (Day 1)
Written by admin on September 26, 2009 – 12:47 am -Day 1:
Nob Hill
Fisherman’s Wharf
Boat Tour to Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz
Azusa’s family came for a visit a few weeks ago from Japan. We had a great time showing them around and we also got to do lots of new things. Of course, we ate and ate, and visited many places. The week went by really fast and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves here but in the end we were sad to see them leave. These pictures should capture some memories:
After some crab and beer, we caught a small boat right as it was about to leave dock for a one hour tour. That was some fun experience and we got to see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and San Francisco in a different way. And we saw some seals too!
One of the crewmen also offered to take our picture as we approached underneath the Golden Gate Bridge.
The boat ride was really fun and we got back at a good time for everyone to rest up from a long flight in. Tomorrow, we cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Muirwoods National Park and spend some time in Sausalito, CA.
