PCH

Pacific Coast Highway - PCH! On Monday, we rented a car and hit the highway. Literally! Wezul wanted to take a drive along the PCH. We were off! Wezul was wanting to take some cool snapshots. I think we succeeded with that.
and......

not to mention the light house we stopped at that you can see in the "On our way home" blog. Wezul took some time out of his driving to get up close with the Pacific...an opportunity he wasn't going to pass up...
I was hoping to see a few dolphins and whales like Chad did (J's brother who was in CA for business). Well, I saw birds, 1 dolphin, and many sea lions. Not to shabby for a cloudy/foggy day, but no whales. :( Maybe next time.

SFO Airport

Wow! For once, Wezul and I have a flight that is scheduled to leave after the sun has risen. :) We had a nice leisurely breakfast at Lori's Diner (free wi-fi) and good food. We go get our stuff and board the BART for the last time. We arrive at the airport...check in...and our flight is pushed back an hour or so. Wezul later finds out that our plane left Denver late. Bummer! We spent the first hour or so looking through all the pictures...until we got bored...which really didn't take long. Then I broke down and bought a day pass for the internet. This should come in handy while we are waiting in Dulles to catch our commuter plane back to RDU. We are both dreading returning to the real world. Wezul is dreading it more than me...I am off tomorrow.

On our way home

Wezul and I took lots of pictures yesterday. Let's just say it took 2 hours to download our digital SLR. Insane! I will have to wait to put them on the web gallery tomorrow. Wezul and I will arrive late tonight...feel free to come back tomorrow afternoon to find out about our last full day in SFO area.

Lombard Street

Wezul, I and AJB made a stop by Lombard Street. This street is famous...or infamous...for being one of the most crooked streets in the US if not the world. It was cool. AJB enjoyed being able to get out in the sun. We had some rain to move in yesterday; therefore, he chose to stay in. Today was bright, sunny, and cool. Typical SFO weather. Another reason Wezul wants to move to SFO.

Clang Clang Clang goes the Trolley

Wezul has a new calling in life. Riding trolleys. I personally think the trolleys are the highlight of the trip for him. He has pure excitement written all over his face. He looks like a kid that has just seen the presents under the Christmas tree - first thing in the morning. His glee - is my panic. First, they cram you in which is not good when you get claustrophobic around people. However, my biggest fear, is seeing Wezul cling from the side of the car. There is very little space between you and oncoming traffic. I mean less than 6 inches. I like to think it would be fine if all the streets were level and not very steep...well...that isn't SFO. SFO has some of the most steep streets I have every seen in my life.
Though pictures do not do the streets justice...Wezul held on...and didn't get squished by an oncoming trolley or car...woo hoo!!! If we every win the lottery...Wezul wants to move to SFO for a year so this could be him....
