We traveled to Pier 39 for some cold weather and wind. When we got there we ate gigantic yummy strawberries...wish I had the chocolate dipping sauce with it, luckly they were sweet enough without it. 
We then ventured to the end of the pier and watched the big ships cross in front of us as they ferried tourists to Alcatraz, otherwise known as "The Rock". 
Did you know that Alcatraz served as a lighthouse, then a military fortification, then a military prison, then a federal prison until 1963, and it is now a national recreation area. It was so windy that day the waves were crashing into the pier and scarred some ladies half to death!!!
We then walked over to see the sea lions. There weren't very many there but there were a few cute babies. Rylee loved listening to them bark, loudy!!! Jon then had some famous clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl and I had chili from a bread bowl, yummy yum!!! I couldn't leave without a big bag of salt water taffy from the Candy Baron!!!
It was a short day, but it was good to get out of the 100 degree weather. We were actually freezing in the 70 degree weather!! Go figure!!!
