more san fran

this is a lot of pictures. sorry. it's a sickness.

on one of the nights we looked toward the bay and realized angel island was on fire. it was a big deal on the news and bizarre to witness.

one of the places we ate in chinatown was sam wo. can you see how narrow the restaurant is? impossibly small. we had dish after dish after dish of delicious food and it ended up costing only about $25.

japanese tea gardens at golden gate park.

in front of the seven sisters. pin a rose on my nose.

near haight-ashbury. i didn't care for that area very much. i guess i'm not a hippie. (that's me in the mirror.)



we walked across the golden gate bridge one day. it's almost 2 miles long!

the town on the other side of the bridge is sausalito. very very cute houses.

we took the ferry back to san francisco from suasalito. there was a model shoot on the ferry. kind of funny.

judy's diner had the most amazing breakfast food. i had cream cheese-stuffed french toast.


my shoes were absolutely killing my feet one day. i bought some 99 cent sandals in Chinatown. hot.

my handsome dad.

jamie not realizing he was looking dramatic on a cable car/street car/trolley. (i'm still not really sure of the difference?)

after touring a coast guard boat. my dad is retired coast guard.

in chinatown. right before we realized we needed to get back to our hotel and get our stuff, or we were going to miss our plane. it was an ordeal. bus, taxi, BART... anyway, we made it to the gate on time (out of breath from running. very "home alone.").

mom and dad, we couldn't have made this trip without you! we love you.

You know, sometimes 99 cent shoes are the best ones you'll own. Take for instance Old Navy's $2 flip flops...best shoes ever!

Love the pictures! San Francisco looks amazing!

SF is so cool. Norah saw these pictures, and said, "Pearlie!"

Did you see that M and P were on the "hipster's" list of names on Oh Happy Day? You are cool, Ab.

That's crazy you got a picture of the fire! We absolutely loved Chinatown. Didn't make it to Sam Wo, though.
