Downtown Frisco & Pier 39

The Pacific ocean leading into the bay.

 Muir Woods is just 20 north of the golden gate bridge. So after Muir Woods, we headed to a pull off above the bridge for lunch and photos.
The location was so amazing, and because it was the afternoon we had clear skies and could see all the way to the Pacific ocean!

Pier 39 is very much like the boardwalk at Ocean City. There are shops and ice cream and places for kids to have fun. One thing they have that OC definitely does not have are sea lions. Pick a spot on the deck and watch the entertainment as males fight, and mamas and their babies bask in the sun.

We drove down the famous Lombard street with its 40 degree incline. I would hate to be one of the home owners along this stretch of road. Everyday hundreds of tourist walk past your house taking pictures. Plus their driveways exit onto the crazy hair pin turns. I don't get living there, but it was cool to drive down Lombard st once!

Not pictured...but we also drove past the famous houses from the opening scene of the TV show Full House. We parked nearby and rolled the windows down in the minivan and played the theme song. The adults burst into song when the chorus came on as the kids embarrassingly sunk down in their seats. It was hilariously memorable - more than any picture!
