Blanche & Lucy vist the exciting Bay Area of San Francisco

One of the areas that no one really ever sees in Napa is the downtown area.  They have a great little waterfront area downtown with lovely buildings and great shops.

We walked through a little festival in the Napa downtown area and Cheryl and Flo found Obama.

After we left Napa we stopped into Sausilito to see the little town across from San Francisco - looking across the bay from Sausilito we see the skyline of SF.

As we sat on the waterfront in Sausilito we enjoyed the Paddle Boarders enjoying the SF bay.

More Paddle Boarders and Kayakers in Sausilito.

Next to Sausilito you will find the little town of Tiburon another little gem of a town.

Many of these little shops were once a houseboat but now they are on the land.

Each of the little former houseboats that were now shops were named - this one is called Blue Ark.

This anchor belonged to one of those little houseboats.

If you go to San Francisco, be sure to go to Alamo Park to see the lovely Painted Ladies - these wonderful Victorians that are so well kept up and painted wonderfully.

At Alamo Park while we photographed the Painted Ladies, Luey found a little puppy named Berkley to play with - too cute.

Blanche and Lucy enjoyed both the view of the city behind the Painted Ladies as well as the grass in Alamo Park to play in.

The best view of the Golden Gate Bridge can be found from the Headlands - a turnoff on the left after you drive north over the bridge.

This view of the fog hugging the Golden Gate Bridge is a rare sight that we really were lucky to find.

For the many years that I lived in this area I always tried to get the bridge 'socked' in like this. If you ever go to San Francisco plan to spend at least 3 weeks - there is too too much to see here.
