San Francisco in August

We took a weekend staycation in San Francisco in August with the intent of getting to know the city a little better. While I was unprepared for how cold it was, the scenery sure was lovely! Here’s one view from our hotel the day we arrived.

And here’s the same shot the next morning … a little foggy!

Here are some images of our exploration.

One of the highlights was a boat tour which took us under the Golden Gate and over around Alcatraz. It was a freezing but very informative, touristy thing to do.

We also spent a good amount of time at the penny arcade and took a set of photo booth pictures.

On Sunday morning we met up with the Stevenson/Saveri clan who happened to be visiting as well. We got to see Elizabeth’s childhood home and neighborhood and had a delicious breakfast close by.

Then we let the kids run around outside the Palace of Fine Arts building which is right across the street from Elizabeth’s house — not a bad place to grow up!

Obviously, these four hooligans take picture-taking very seriously.

There were some great trees to climb, too.

Ezra would have stayed here all day …

… but alas, it was soon time to stay goodbye to friends and head back home.
