Everyone needs a good picture by the Golden Gate Bridge.
We went to the De Young Museum and they had a Chihuly Exhibit- Chihuly being a glass artist - here is a picture of one of the displays- pretty impressive.
Ryan and Joelle on the boat to Alcatraz.
They caught me :(
This is the lighthouse in Monterey- it was closed for the day, so this was the closest we could get.
The Beach in Monterey.
Ahhh... the Redwoods- a wonderful place.
More of the redwoods- I just love it :)
The Aquarium in Monterey is really cool- I loved it, there are so many cool fish, and sea otters, but my favorite was definately the Jelly fish- i had a hard time picking my favorite picture.
The coolest crab ever - at the Aquarium.
I think this was in Monterey- but honestly, I'm not sure.
While in Monterey driving towards the 17 miles drive- we found this cool cemetary with lots of awesome trees. I'm not sure why- but trees just make me happy- so I thought I would share.
Beautiful....just beautiful.
The day we got to Joelle and Tylers house was my birthday, and Joelle's birthday was just over a week before mine- so she had a birthday party for both of us. At first I was nervous because it was a birthday party with all of her friends, and as you all know I am a little shy, but it turned out pretty good. Everyone was very nice and social and I wasn't too uncomfortable- I actually had fun.
The Winchester House - the widow of the man who created the Winchester Rifle was a little nuts- and she had this house built- and kept building for 38 years until she died. It was pretty bizarre, so here are a few pics.
The attention to detail in this place was amazing. Who knew that a hinge on a door could be so ornate.
Sarah Winchesters favorite pattern was that of spider webs- and so there were a lot of them around the house- these were windows in the bathroom.
She also had hundreds of Tiffany Stained Glass windows- they are worth thousands. This picture doesn't really capture how pretty it was.
Ryan and I after the tour of the Winchester House.
After Alcatraz we walked over a few piers and took a tour of the U.S.S. Pampanito- a WWII Submarine. It was really neat- and really cramped- I can't imagine being stuffed in there with 80 other marines- yikes! This is a pic of Ryan and I on the submarine (with our tour guide headsets).
Ryan and Joelle checking out the map in the submarine.
The top of this ladder was blocked off- but I wanted to pretend anyways.
Big guns on the top of the Submarine.
Asian Art Museum- I love asian art and history and culture.... I thougt this shirt was beautiful- the picture isn't great- sorry.
More of the Asian Art Museum. Just a really cool carving of some deity. Most of the pictures here didn't turn out great- but it was my favorite museum that we went to (out of 3).
That is all the pictures- I hope you enjoyed. I know I did :)

Looks like you had a great time. My favorite is the picture of you where you can actually see your belly start to show. The Asian Art shirt is really pretty.
