San Francisco

After classes on Friday, we headed up to spend the afternoon and early evening in San Francisco.
We really enjoyed all the exhibits in Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. I had been warned not to make the funny faces in these mirrors, but I didn't mind letting the kids do it. When you get on the other side, you find out that these are two-way mirrors, and everybody in front of you on the trail gets to watch you try to make the rubberman faces... LOL

The street performers were so fun. The metal robot guys were the kids' favorite, and I enjoyed listening to Jill Knight sing. She has a gorgeous voice, and I like to hear her sing recorded artists' songs. Her own songs were pretty depressing, and she sings them with a big smile, and that made me laugh.
The Golden Gate Bridge is behind the kids in this shot, but it is hard to see.

We saw a lot of things in San Francisco, but there are too many photos to add here. We went to Ghiradelli Square, The Cannery, Pier 39, the maritime museum, the San Francisco amusement park games museum, Fisherman's Wharf, Ripleys, the Wax Museum, we saw Alcatraz and the Golden Gate bridge across the water, and we watched all the performances being acted out or sung.
