Last Day in San Francisco

Monday morning, we slept in a bit (first time on this trip!) and awoke to an absolutely gorgeous day. With the help of Google mapping, I managed to find the address of our former home in Castro Valley, and Rick agreed to drive the 30 or so miles to see it. We drove over the 7-mile San Mateo bridge, which we later found out is the longest bridge in the SF area and the 25th longest in the world, by length. We found the house, thanks to our trusted GPS system. Nothing in the surrounding area looked very familiar, as I hadn't visited in a very long time! The house looked great, though very different than when we lived in it. Afterwards, we drove back to SF and took RJ down the steep, one-block portion of Lombard Street known as the crookedest street in the US. Spectacular views from the top! We ended again at the wharf, and wandered around, enjoying the much less crowded streets. We had dinner at Bubba Gump's on the wharf, a lively joint which offered wonderful shrimp dishes and a drop-dead view of the Bay. It's hard to say goodbye to this city! Tuesday we are off to Anaheim and Disneyland! (hear the groaning in the background? That's RJ, lamenting about the 7 hour drive!)
