California Part 2 (of 2)

Monterey and San Francisco! (Picture overload!)

The drive from the Sequoia National Forest to Monterey was very brown! Then it turned into some serious agriculture. We probably saw every fruit and vegetable. Quite the change in scenery. 



When we got to Monterey we got some lunch while enjoying the view of the water...


...then we rented a surry to enjoy the coastline. Leo was super cute in his helmet.



We saw seals and otters.





Then we took the very scenic drive....17 mile drive.

 and saw the Lone Cyprus.

Then we headed to San Francisco.

 We went up and down very steep streets and down the curvy Lombard Street.


 And of course saw the Golden Gate Bridge. It was really foggy the whole time we were there.


Of course we wouldn't miss seeing this "Full House" scene.
We took a walk in the park... 

 and came across this beautiful greenhouse. 



 The last day we were there, we went to Alcatraz.

 
Where Leo had his first boat ride (and time in prison ;) )  


Then we headed home.


California is a neat place to visit and we checked off a lot of our bucket list items. Monterey and San Francisco were quite chilly though. So that is something to keep in mind if you go...bring a sweater!
