By the Bay

I did a little googling and it looked like there was a national park, called Golden Gate national park.
There is indeed, however, there is also a city park called that.
Don't get confused... we did, we ended up at the city park, it ended up being a ton of walking, (my blisters had went down a bit, but I still couldn't wear shoes) but it was beautiful.


This is a national sea shore, it was cold in the 60's and windy, no wonder no one uses it!!
A fairy house in the park!
We found this Japanese tea garden, they served Japanese tea, I got a cup, it was good! I am thankful we got there early enough to not have to pay $6 to get in and then buy the tea too! They open at 9 and the garden is free entry for one hour!
They had a beautiful outdoor stage between two museums, and a botanical garden.
After our trip to the golden gate park we decided we would head down to Fisherman's wharf via cable car. Sadly we waited in line, and were on the cable car when it broke down, and they said the wait would be a couple of hours, so we got off and took an old electric train down instead 
This car is from Italy and I really liked how everything was wood and it had real lights on the inside, it was really cool



We were able to see the sea lions resting on their docks
Had a great lunch
Toured a bakery, Where I saw the largest Mixers ever! 

Then we hiked up a very steep hill to see the crookedest street

out on a dock to see San Francisco from the Bay
And finally we found the National park we had been looking for, but the visitor center had closed for the day, so we decided to try it out the next.
