Summer Vacations 4

San Francisco Trip: Part 4 Independence Day In SF

Fun 4th of July hats from Karol Anne!

Our 4th of July started off with breakfast at Chloe’s.  It was a tiny restaurant but the food was really good.  We ate breakfast outside along the sidewalk.

After breakfast we headed to our next scheduled event…Alcatraz!  We took the ferry over to Alcatraz Island and did the audio tour.  The audio tour was better than I thought it would be.  It was interesting because it was narrated by some of the guards and prisoners that were at Alcatraz.

After Alcatraz we headed to Ghirardelli for a late lunch (AKA dessert) 

On The Embarcadero, the streets were closed and were packed with people! After a 2 hour wait, we had dinner at The Crab House at Pier 39 and watched fireworks.  The fog rolled in right before the fireworks :(

Since there was no public transportation due to the roads being closed, we had to make the hike back to our hotel.  That was a workout!Day #3 in San Francisco was the day of tours!  We started of with the Downtown Double Decker Bus Tour.
