So after the chaos of stomach flu at Disneyland, we couldn't just go home and rest and recover. Josh and I had a business trip booked in San Francisco and flights we had to make. The plan had been
to drop our kids off at Josh's parents' house in St. George along with our van, then rent a car to drive
back up to Provo to fly out to SF. We had an extra day, luckily, so even though it made our time a little crunched, we stayed an extra day in Las Vegas to give everyone a another day to recover before
going to Grandma's house. It helped a lot and everyone felt much better once we got there. With all
the craziness (and the extra day), we waited to long to reserved our rental car, and there were none
left in all of St. George! Out of desperation, we drove out to the airport car rental just to wait and see
if anyone brought one in or they had one. Somehow, they had one left - a red convertible! They were super nice and gave us the "budget" car price and we were good to go! We hightailed it back home to wash clothes and pack.
During our short time home we got a handful of strawberries from the garden!
The next morning we turned our rental car in at the Provo airport
and caught our flight to San Francisco (technically Oakland airport, first)!
We arrived at Oakland, and picked up our rental car there. Then we went
first thing to the Oakland Temple.
Afterward we crossed the Oakland bridge into San Francisco.
Instead of a hotel, we had found a great deal on a little vacation rental.
The hills in SF were crazy! Our little place was on this steep hill.
It ended up being such a cute little apartment. We were pleased with it.
After we got settled, we drove toward Fisherman's Wharf and found
a place to park. One thing about SF is you pay for parking wherever you go.
We walked up this HUGE steep street for a long time (we had planned this walk).
When we got to the top, we could see the famous Lombard Street which curves
all the way down the other side of the hill.

Next, we walked down to Fisherman's Wharf.
It was so cool to see all the fresh seafood for sale.
Dungeness crab was there big thing.
We stopped there for dinner.
Fresh sourdough bread (another SF must try food)
We decided to splurge and try the dungeness crab.
It was delicious.
After dinner, we stopped at the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory
on our way back to the car.
