Lombard Street

After the temple we had a mini-adventure trying to find someplace to buy a new SD card for my camera. We finally came across an Office Max and Kyle took a few of the kids in to buy a card for my camera and to make a quick potty stop. We also used this stop as an opportunity to feed everyone some lunch. Then we were back on our real adventure.

I tried to take a picture of San Fransisco while we were driving across the Bay Bridge. Every one of my pictures, has the bridge cables in it.

Liesl wanted to take us to see Lombard street, so that is where we headed. When we got there, Kyle wanted a picture of all the people standing in the road taking pictures. 😉

I remember these super steep roads from when my family visited San Fransisco years ago. We were in the motorhome and it was terrifying to drive through town, feeling like the motorhome was standing up on it’s nose as we went downhill. It felt just about the same driving through town this time, even though we were only in a 12 passenger van. It was totally awkward to park so we could get out and walk down Lombard street. Liesl parked, and it felt like the van was going to fall over. As Dinah unbuckled her booster seat it did lean over. Then when she got out of the van, she still felt like she needed to hang on.

We also had a nice view of Alcatraz Island, and a pretty neat looking boat.
