10-8, SanFran Day 2 - pm

We did everything we could for the rest of the day to surround ourselves with the sights and sounds of the sea.  

The sea lions at Pier 39 were a riot-- literally and figuratively.  Boy, did those things cause a ruckus, but they were so much fun to watch!

Little boats, big 'boats'.... I think we need a Dr. Seuss book for mariners.

I've seen many of these in my day (a double bollard, by the way), but I never did think to use one for this purpose.  Lol.

See that green water taxi (adjacent the boat with the creepy skeleton in the life ring)?  Here are some of the sights and adventures we saw from our evening ride around the bay on it.

We didn't get a tour of the Jeremiah O'Brien this trip, but we did get up close to it. 

Rising and setting sun pics of the Golden Gate Bridge in one day. It was a FULL day!

Look who got to drive the boat!

Look who is so happy about driving the boat!

Both kids got their turn at the helm.

Could we get any luckier than a sushi restaurant located right across the street from our hotel?  Sushi was Nik's #1 request for the week.  That request was granted many times over due to the proximity of the restaurant to our hotel and the quality of the food there.
