Today we got up early to make our last big drive to a new city. We watched movies and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of California as we made our way to San Francisco. We stopped for lunch before getting into the city.
We crossed over the Bay bridge to arrive in San Francisco! What a beautiful sky line! We could also see Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge off in the distance. Our first stop in SF was at the de young museum. It is an art museum. There was so much to see and some pieces were very interesting. They had different fabrics on display, photos, paintings and pottery too! The museum even had a special look out 9 stories high that had a great view of the city.
After time enjoying some art we went down to Pier 39. Usually this spot is busy with tourists but today it was especially busy because it was July 4! There were sooo many people! We had some free time to check out all the shops and stores before we headed to dinner. We had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. It was delicious! After dinner we had some more time to enjoy the busy streets and side walks at Fisherman's Wharf.
Then we finally headed to our destination to watch the fire works! We made it just in time to Treasure Island. It was an amazing view of the fireworks off in the distance! The Bay bridge to our left, the city in front and the fire works to the right! It was a great show. The only bad thing about this great night was that everyone had the same idea to watch the fire works from the island. But it was okay, we watched a Forrest Gump on the bus so we weren't bored :)
Our first day in San Francisco was a beautiful day!
