Pier 39

The next day we decided to check out pier 39. Wow! What a fun place to visit. It reminded me a little of Pike's place market in Seattle. Once again we were lucky enough to have someone offer to take a picture of all of us together. Yeah! If you look closely you can see alcatraz in the background.
We love San Fransisco just like we love Seattle. There is so much to see. The kids loved to see the trolley's and cable cars. That was what Jaxen choose as his souvenier that day. Of course it's some kind of car. Anything on wheels for Jaxen. Tristan found some post cards he liked and again I can't remember what kaeryn choose. But we loved going in and out of all the shops. We got sourdough bread and of course cotton candy.
You can't go to Pier 39 and not stop to see the sea lions. I had heard that you could see sea lions but I didn't realize it would be this many. There were so many. they have their own section of the harbor that they have claimed. It was so fun to watch them play in the water. Again I was loving it. I've seen seals and sea lions in aquariums and books and on tv. Now I can say that i've seen them in the wild. Even though the sea lions were on the pier. It was so fun!
This is definitly a place we will visit again. Hopefully, the carosel will be working that time. We had a wonderful adventure and are so thankful for all the beautiful things in our world. We are so thankful that we are able to experience and see the neat treasures. Happy thanksgiving everyone!
