Entering the Mist

So yeah. . . .

My mom already has done a post on this topic and I'm realizing that I've slightly ignored it since my first post on the trip.   

But actually- I'm mostly just happy that she's actually posting something!

We drove into San Francisco on the opposite side of the Golden Gate at around 10 the morning after we arrived. 

 Everything was shrouded in mist, making for this sad picture out of the windshield.  Oh well.  

After waiting for everyone in the extended family to arrive, we got out 

and started exploring the sight of some "cannons" that used to be posted at the edge of the bay .  

We had a blast.  As you can see, I even got a picture of my mom taking pictures!  (A rare sight) :)   

We all had a fun time exploring the old quarters of the base and peeking over the bluff at the Golden Gate (it occasionally made a rare appearance, peeking out of the mist.)

 

Then Grandpa gave us a lesson on weather in San Francisco and the history of the fort.

You can see the rapt listeners.

And we moved on into San Francisco.  

More Later.
