y my dad, Jeff, Madeline and I went to Haight Street to look around and do some sho
pping, and there were some really cool stores there. After that we went over to Golden Gate Park to eat some lunch, and we saw a really pretty pond area that had a lot of cute turtles on logs. There was also a fenced in area with a few bison in it which was kind of a surprise, and it was funny to see them in that setting after we saw so many in Yellowstone. From there we went to a beach and looked for sand dollars for a while. It was a nice beach
and it's really helpful that dogs are allowed on most of the beaches around here (and the ones in Oregon too). We always had a hard time findin
g beaches in New England that we could bring Nika to. It was also nice because the weather today was perfect, pretty warm but not uncomfortable, and not humid like we're used to in Boston! (Not surprisingly the water at the beach was freezing though.) After drivi
ng around a bit to see more of the city we came back to the hotel to rest up
before dinner. Grace came and met up with us to go to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant at Pier 39. I had never been to one but it was really good and was in an awesome location with a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge nearby. When we left the restaurant we went down towards the docks to see a huge group of sea lions that were
hanging around and making a ton of noise. They were so funny and were all laying on the docks and making their
barking sounds, it was really cute. Now we are back at the hotel and sadly this is our last night in San Francisco. Tomorrow Jeff and I will head north, but we haven't decided for sure where we will spend the
night. We are thinking that we will do one more night of camping before getting to Portland, so we will probably stay either near the Redwood Forest or somewhere in southern Oregon tomorrow night. Either way we should be getting to Portland on Saturday at some point, so we will let you all know when we make it!
