San Fransico and the Golden Gate Bridge. 
You think I would have learned from last time but I did not and so the pictures are in reverse order again. Sorry. Here is Kiersten when we got home in her dress from China Town.
Danica and Lynnaea on the top of the train at the Dennis the Menace playground. One of the coolest playgrounds I have ever seen. Kids had a blast. (It is actually in Monterey not SanFran).
Leaving Alcatraz - on the ferry back to SanFran - Danica took this pic.
Alcatraz. It is very run down. They sure don't reinvest the money they make from the tours back into Alcatraz. Or maybe they think it is cooler looking falling apart.
In one of the cells. We were all listening to the audio tour - which was very good- and they talked about bank ROBBERS being locked up. Anders caught that part and he has been dressing up and playing that he is a "ROBIN" ever since!!!

View of SanFran from Alcatraz. It was so hot - the ranger said "welcome to Alcatraz and the hottest day of all of 2010". Yeah - it was scorching.
Inside Alcatraz.
View of the Bay Bridge from the ferry over to Alcatraz. We drove across that bridge on the way home. IT is LONG - the picture only shows half of it.

Playing on the beach.

Beautiful scencery on the coast - this is in Caramel on our way to Big Sur.
This is also in Caramel.
Jared and the kids playing in a tide pool. They found crabs, seastars, and other treasures.
Climbing down to the tide pools - this picture does not accurately show how steep it was - I stayed at the top with the baby because it was so steep.
On our whale watching tour that was a disaster. This is the last 1/2 hour when it was finally calm and you could sit outside. Funny story - when we got on the boat Myles wanted to know about putting on lifejackets (the lady bought the tickets from said all kids had to be in lifejackets - but then when we got on the boat they didn't say anything about putting them on) - he wanted to wear one in case we sunk like the Titanic. Jared told him not to worry about it and- "all those swimming lessons I have been paying for will finally pay off" HAHAA - I laughed so hard.
Krill we caught on the whale watching tour. We found lots of krill but no whales eating the krill.
This is where we spent the first 2.5 hours of the whale watching tour. The ocean was extremely rough and you couldn't sit outside without getting drenched from the waves - and it was windy and cold and wet and people were getting seasick and throwing up. Danica felt a little sick and so did Lynnaea - but she fell asleep and so did Kiersten and Anders. All that and NO WHALES!!!
Standing at the top of the steepest hill in SanFran. It may be the steepest but there were ALOT of steep hills. It looked like the cars parked on the hill could roll right down like dominoes!
The curviest road in SanFran. It was crazy to drive down.
Turtle bread loaf at Boudin's in SanFran.
Jared's favorite place in SanFran - the boudin bakery. We got lots of yummy bread and cookies and brownies.
China Town where we were the tourist attraction with our six kids. Seriously - MULTIPLE Asian woman asked me if these were all my kids and kept counting them.
China Town.
Part way across the Golden Gate Bridge. Myles looks so happy because he was worried about there being an earthquake while we were on the bridge.
View walking along the bridge.
