Me and the lil one just got home from a day out in San Fransisco. We had a blast!

All the topics I started in there today is what I took pics of today.
First we walked around docks by Pier 39 and went to go see the sea lions. There was literally thousands of them. Took a bunch of pictures of those. After that we went and starred at Alcatraz from the docks for a while... I told her the story of it.
Then we went to the Aquarium. I have been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium several times but I never been to the S.F. one because I heard it is smaller. Anyways, it was well worth the $22 for us both to get in. There was SOO many interesting things to see in there. The jelly fish were amazing. There was underground clear tunnels you walk through where the fish are swimming all around you. The lil one loved the shark tank. Then we go up to the 3rd floor where you can touch the sting rays in the little tank.. She enjoyed that. She said they sting rays feel slimey. They also had an open exhibit where you can touch the starfish and sea cucumbers.
After that we went and walked around in various shops around Pier 39 .. Window shopping. After that got old, we walked down to this old museum of old arcade games and coin operated fortune tellers, puppet shows, etc.. That was pretty cool. We also went to an indoor/outdoor World War 1/WW2 museum. We got to see some old battle ships and submarines which was pretty cool.
After that, we sat and watched a few street performers. There was a break dancing crew which was pretty entertaining.
We started to get hungry so we walked down to fishermans warf and got some seafood for dinner.
Our final stop was the beach near the Golden Gate Bridge. We took our shoes off and walked along the water (which was freezing).
It was a fun day.
