Trip to the Bay Area-Day 1

August 16th, 2007 Because we were heading down to San Raphael (near Tiburon) for the gathering being held on the 18th in celebration of Barbara Wilson's 75th birthday, Grant and I decided to go a couple of days earlier and celebrate our own 6th anniversary and see San Francisco. The ride down was great in our new truck--very comfortable with air-conditioning which we needed as it was unseasonably warm while we were there. We settled in to our hotel and then decided to find out where we could catch the ferry. On the spur of the moment, we hopped onto the ferry and went for a (FAST) ride over to SF, where we walked around the Embarcadero, had a snack, and then took the 9:20 ferry back to Larkspur.
