San Francisco Highlights!!

Japanese Tea Garden...Brigham sure loves his daddy!!
Japanese Tea Garden with our fun matching San Francisco shirts!
Ryan splurged and took us to a fancy Italian restaurant. Brigham loves to make noise by pounding his hands on the table so we would try to distract him by having him show us his muscles. He is so cute!
We enjoyed every bite of our food...by the time we were able to get the waiter to take a picture...we had cleared our plates! : )
We could not leave San Francisco without visiting Ghirardelli Square AND we could not leave Ghirardelli until we at least tried something. : ) We decided to get their HUGE cookie, caramel, hot fudge sundae...it was heaven! Brigham is our little ice cream boy...Ryan and I got one bite for every 3 or 4 that he would have.
This is the Aquarium at the Bay located on Pier 39. Brigham loved looking at all the different shapes, colors, and sizes of the fish, sharks, starfish, etc.
If you can not tell from the picture...we are walking in an underground tunnel with the fish and sharks swimming above and around us. The little white dots are thousands of fish that Brigham would try to touch not realizing there was glass in the way!
Ryan and Brigham riding the carousel on the Pier.
Brigham loves watching birds so I decided to throw some gold fish on the ground to have a bird that was close by come a little closer. Little did I know that shortly after I threw the gold fish about 40 more birds decided they wanted some too.
This is Lombard Street known as the crookedest street in San Francisco!
We went on a Cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz. As we were leaving the dock...we passed the famous seals by Pier 39.
Golden Gate Bridge!

We are at the top of the Coit Tower. Just to get to the tower...you have to climb up 345 stairs that are at a steep incline. It may not sound too bad but when you have a little guy to carry...it's a lot harder than you think! : )
Chinatown...we got some pretty sweet bargains!! A fun place to visit!!
