Oregon Coast and San Francisco

The drive from Washington into Oregon. We took highway 101 through the little town along the coast, got lost a couple of times but we did see some truly amazing views!



Here we are in San Francisco on the boat tour of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. It was a really awesome tour and fun being out on the extremely choppy water of the bay.
Bottom picture is of Alcatraz Island.. Very interesting history.. did you know that the native americans that lived in the area moved onto the island in the late 60's and claimed it as their property.. then continued to fight with the government of California for years over who owned the land. California government eventually won and which point it was converted into a monument of sorts.

The view of San Fran from the tour boat.
I bet you can't guess what bridge this is :)
Here we are arriving early for the SF Giants game. It was father's day and so they were handing out these really awesome Giants ties in these really cool boxes. We got two :) It was really hot that day and so we got pretty sun burned, good thing the girls behind us were smarter than us and brought some sun screen!
