Grandma's Gone Wild.....Day 2

February 20

This is the home (flat) we stayed in while in San Francisco.

The day started out with "another" walk down to the bay to take our 3 hour tour around the city with a Mr. Toad's ride in an 1920's style rambler. It was a really cool tour and we got to see sights we would have not been able to see if we tried walking (which is impossible) or drive it ourselves which is also impossible since parking is very hard to find.

It was really hard to decide what to share with you from this day. We saw so much and there are so many pictures. So these are a few that I've decided to share and hopefully through the other Grandma's blogs you'll see something different and get a different account of the day if you choose to go and visit...which I highly recommend you do. This is one of the many views we saw on our tour just looking down side streets and seeing the bay. The view is just unbelievable! We went through almost every area of San Francisco...The Wharf, Persidio, Haight-Ashbury, Chinatown, Little Italy and more... We saw many beautiful homes and below is a so called famous one...it is the house that was used in the TV show "Party of Five".

I know the show well since I had young teenage girls at home at the time but I must admit...I liked the show myself.

Below is another house....it's from a hit movie. Can you guess who's house it is?
Come on...you can do it...
It's the house from the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire"

Below is me with my girls...I understand that some (or maybe one, who knows) of the girls may want to go by fake names or a staged name (if your reading Fonda's blog) but I'm gonna give you the real ones so you'll know who is who and if you've heard about them but can't match a face with a name....now you can. I will let you guess who has what fake name...

Beverly...Stacy...Robin (that's me)...and Fonda

the row of homes behind us is called "Postcard Row"

One of the houses was used in the show "Full House" I'm just not sure which one.

Our tour also took us to under "The Golden Gate Bridge"

It was a most beautiful sight. There were also several surfers in the water as well.

Our plan was to walk over "The Golden Gate Bridge" since we did "The Brooklyn Bridge" in New York but time did not allow it but this was just as good plus we never would of gotten some of the pictures we did if we would of been on it instead of under it.

And this is me crossing the road in "The Wharf" area... on the phone with Jennifer finding out that I'm having another Grandson....Yippee!

We went to eat at The Fisherman's Grotto and relaxed some before heading off to Pier 39 for some seal gazing and shopping.

And here are the seals sun bathing...there were tons of them.

After a full day of seeing the sights and shopping we headed back to the flat to relax before heading out to dinner. We had reservations for dinner at 7:45 at

Harris' Steakhouse.

When we FINALLY arrived at the restaurant we were pretty hot and tired because we had decided "again to walk"...though the restaurant was under a mile it was still a very hilly up and down walk.

Plus some of us decided to wear heals and make that walk but I'm not gonna name names

......BUT.....IT WASN'T ME....
Dinner was good and the drinks were excellent as you can see.

After dinner we took a town car...(we finally got wise)...maybe the drinks helped us make that decision...you know...making us wise.

We headed to the Fairmont Hotel (which was around the corner from where we were staying) to end the evening. This picture of the Fairmont was taken on our day tour. I didn't think about taking one that evening. Also this is the hotel that was used in the TV show "Hotel"

Anyway...we visted the Tonga Room at the Fairmont and had a good time...some more than others and that's all I got to say about that...

What happens at the Tonga room...Stays at the Tonga room
