San Francisco!!! Finally A Vacation

We decided to take a much needed vacation to San Francisco. Ben had never been there and i had not been there since High School Graduation...only a few years ago. We had a great time. The first day we took a Cable Car ride across town. This was the awesome view from the back of the car looking down at the Fishermans Wharf side. It was amazing how steep these streets are!
On Saturday, We went on a tour of Alcatraz. We rode a ferry boat across to the island and spent a few hours looking around at what the prison life was like there.
Friday we decided was our favorite day. We rented mountain bikes and did a 8 mile ride through town and across the Golden Gate Bridge. This was amazing. We ended up in a little fishing town and had lunch, walked around to the shops and then rode the ferry back to San Francisco. Neither of us have done anything like this ever and it by far was our favorite!
Of course what firefighter would not want to see the local truck at work. This was San Francisco Fire Department's TRUCK 2. Ben works Salt Lake City Fire TRUCK 2 so it was the sentimental moment of the trip and really fun to see. They still use wooden ladders that they make there on their Fire Department.


Just another gorgeous view of the city.
Now its time to plan the next vacation............................................
