San Francisco is a fun area to explore, and even better to do it with friends. We had met Bobbi & Eric at the FOTR Rally and knew they would be in the area, so we decided to hook up with them for a couple weeks and explore. I was also surprised to find an old high school friend who lived near San Jose on Facebook and enjoy a homemade pizza dinner at their house one night.
The Winchester Mystery House was built by the owner's of the Winchester Rifle & Gun Company, and when the husband died, the wife went crazy. Insisting that the spirits of the dead who had been killed by Winchester guns were haunting the house, she was "told" that they could be kept at bay if she just kept building. So she did. Stairways that go nowhere, doors exiting off the second floor with no way out, secret rooms, half finished rooms, etc (notice the door on the second floor in the picture above)
The Santa Cruz Boardwalk was a cool experience. The Harbor Seals slept and played in the framework of the docks, while starfish of all different colors made their home there too.
We also got to go to the Redwood Forest...
learn about the Golden Gate and Suspension Bridges....
have shrimp at Bubba Gump's on Pier One....
see how Boudin's Bakery makes their amazingly cool bread animals.....
and step back in time at Haight & Ashbury
