Autumn just got back from the groomers. She loves her mom. She is cuddling with me.
I got her paws dyed pink again. I love the bow on her head.

Jarom loves to shoot guns. It has been over a year since we have gone. I don't like going out to the desert to shoot. We found this indoor range that was good.
You can't tell from the picture how good I am at shooting the target. Just kidding. I think I was alright. I was aiming at his chest.

The night we returned from San Francisco we went to a Rush concert. It lasted 3.5 hours. I was thankful the concert was good. It's a band Jarom has always liked.

Jarom and I flew to San Francisco for a trip between his semesters. He doesn't get summers off. We had a week to go only because he took his 2 year boards early. This piciture is our first time using public transportation. We rode the BART. I didn't want to rent a car. Everyone said parking was expensive. We didn't see anything scary. I only know what I see in the movies when it comes to public transportaion. For example "Adventures in Babysitting".
This is our hotel room. We payed $65 dollars a night. The hotels near by were going for 150-400. Ours was exactly what we payed for. I wiped everything down. That's what Jarom gets for marring someone cheep who is currently making the money. We survived!

This picture was taken from our hotel room. Even with the window shut it sounded wide open.

This is the famous Macy's. In is located in Union Square. We didn't really check it out. We did go straight to the top because there is a Cheese Cake Factory on top.

We were able to get a seat outside that overlooked Union Square. We never know what to order at Cheese Cake Factory. We ended up getting chips and guacamole. It was so good!

My new brecelet from China Town. It has a beatle inside solid plastic. It is gross but I liked it. Jarom keeps teasing me about one of its legs might be poking through. That would be sick. I told my friend, Kirsten, I felt bad buying it knowing they killed it for this brecelet. She says she kills a bug everyday. That made me not feel so guilty.

This is China Town. It was okay. I don't think we saw all of it. A lot of it was the same.
We watched the seals for a while. They are so loud. They just push each other off the docks and walk all over each other. It was fun. I wish we could have fed them. Later on on our trip we were walking on another dock and one was just laying at the end. Some guy walked toward it for a picture. The seal freaked out and started making a lot of noise. It was so funny. The guy jumped and ran so fast.

My eyes are closed but I liked this picture cause you can see all the seals in the background.

We are eating a cherry bomb. It is a cherry with lots and lots of fudge that is dipped in chocolot. It was okay. Jarom really like it.
We decided to do the whole pearl experiance. We always see these everywhere. I got a blue one. The girl didn't even let me open the clam. We told her we wanted to spend maybe $30 dollars. She kept pulling out pieces that were way over $100. We spent $30. It was fun.
Here we are at The Aquarium at the Bay. It was cool. We walked through a tunnel of fish. Jarom was surprised how big this one fish was. I told him to smile pretty.

I thought this fish was cool because it is missing an eye.

Jarom in the tunnel.
This fish was right above me.
I was able to pet the tiger sharks. I was a little scared. The first time I pet any fish was when Dorias came to Vegas.
More petting. I wasn't suppose to but I lifted one of the legs. They are hard like a rock. One of the star fish did feel like leather.

We went on a sunset sailboat ride. It was fun. Very very cold.
I wanted to lay on the cargo net before everyone got on. The water is right under me. It was cool to stand on this while we were sailing. You get a little wet.

This is San Francisco from our sailboat. I liked the view! Jarom loved the view.

We sailed under the San Francisco Bridge.
The sunset.
I was so cold. I had a shirt, a light jacket, my Vegas winter coat, and the sailboats company's coat on. The wind was ice. We still had so much fun. It was romantic.

The next day we went on another boat to Alcatraz. We almost missed it cause I had to mail my mom's mothers day gift and then we lost our cable car passes. We just had to buy more. Then we had to walk fast to get there. We arrived 10 min. before. They were loading everyone on.
This is the prison.
I'm in the museum part of Alcatraz. We were able to read some of the inmate's personal stories. Some were creapy.

Me behind bars.

Alcatraz Island.

This is the first light house built on the west coast. It's on Alcatraz.

This is one of the cells the prisoners lived.
We had headsets on. I'm sure we all looked funny in silence. We learned a lot about Alcatraz. That night Jarom and I rented the movie "Escape from Alcatraz" It was fun. I wish we had watched the movie before we went. We bougth a cup as a souvenir. We saw the same cup in the movie.

We then went to the Boudin Sourdough Bread Bakery. They make different animals out of sourdough bread. We went on a tour. The clam chouder was really good. I still am not a big fan of sourdough unless it is my mom's pancakes.

This is the USS Pampanito. It is a sub. We were able to go inside. We should have payed extra for the headset to listen to the tour. We really didn't know what we were looking at inside.
A little blurry. It was a tight squeeze for both of us.
I am going down into the sub in this picture.
This is beautiful Jarom.

This is one of the cable cars. We rode them 2 times a day. They can really load on a lot of people.
We are walking down one of the streets. I was amazed at how steep the streats are. It messes with your eyes a little.
This is Lombard street. It would've been cooler to ride down on a bike. Just kidding I would crash for sure. I think it would've been better in a car. Jarom didn't want to walk all the way down knowing we would have had to walk back up.

Sitting on the brick wall on Lombard St.

We are at Ghridelli Square. We bought our own sundae's. Mine was mostly melted due to the hot fudge and brownie. Very good!
One of the precesses in making chocolot.
This is a bum at the Golden Gate Bridge. His pants are just another shirt. We saw so many homeless people in San Francisco. They don't even care. They will dig through the trash in a very busy area in the middle of the day. We would just watch. This guy justed talked to himself the whole time. It was kindof sad but he seemed happy.
