Random SF Photos

I didn’t take too many photos while in San Francisco, so here are a few random shots that I did take

The bart is such a great mode of transportation it spreads out the entire bay area, even going under the water next to the bay bridge

I think this is the emptiest I have ever seen it

The bart station I went to on my way back to the Oakland Airport, as you can see it’s in the middle of a freeway. On this particular day it was extremely cold and pouring down rain. So with the cars zooming by on each side regardless of the roof above me, I still got wet from the cars wheels spraying it up and the heavy winds..

I have a few shots from the plane on my way home that will come in my next post…

The Golden Gate Experience

I have always wanted to take the challenge of walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, to me that bridge is pure beauty.

Here is myself, Nyia, Tanya (right back) and Rayma (right front)

California State Capital

A couple months back when we visited San Francisco, we also spent a day in the State Capital (Sacramento). And I just realized today that I never shared any of the pics…While we were there we saw both the State Assembly (which was in session at the time) and the Senate Chambers. However we were not allowed to photograph these rooms.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Office – we could of gone in if we felt like waiting in line

Locked Up In Alcatraz

One of my favorite parts of going to San Francisco was our trip to Alcatraz as I’ve always wanted to go there and check it out. I will share just some of the pics here in this post. You may find the rest of our alcatraz trip here.

First thing you see when you arrive on the Island

Guards Tower

How your cell would look upon arrival

What a lovely menu..

We were laughing at this couple and I just happen to make a comment about their glasses and they gave Brandon a pair, and posed with him they were cracking me up through the tour as I kept running into them.

Brandon and I just enjoying the view
