San Francisco and Senoma


 
San Francisco was an interesting place.  In some ways, it was just like any other major city with a Tiffany & Co. and a Cheesecake Factory.  However, in a lot of ways, it is quite unique.  The hilly landscape, painted ladies (victorian townhomes)and the bay covered with a blanket of fog give the city its character. It was very odd though.  I looked on the T.V. trying the find Wake Up San Francisco starring Danny Tanner, but I could never find it.  Crazy. :)

Sea Lions lounging around. 
 

Alcatraz...very creepy.
 
 

Crabs in front of a restaurant on the wharf. 
 
 
 Golden Gate Bridge.  Beautiful art deco design.
 
 
 Bridge to nowhere?
 
 
Legit chinese food.  So good!

Conservatory of Flowers.  Really interesting building.  Not only held lots of beautiful flowers and butterflies, but it was also very humid in there.  Reminded me of home.  :)
 
 
 
Sonoma!  What a lovely town full of interesting shops and wineries.  We went on a wine tour and learned all about the wine making process.  Much more complicated than I would have ever thought.  Even though there were no ripe purple grapes on the vines, it was truly a beautiful part of California.  

 
 


Cave where they store the wine.
