California Trip July 2012: Part 5 Sightseeing and Goodbyes

Fort Point and Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco, California

     Our last full day in California was spent sightseeing more of the beautiful land of San Francisco. Everyone that went sightseeing the day before went sightseeing the next day. We decided to go to Fort Point, the old fort that was once used in battles turned into a museum. It was directly under the famous Golden Gate Bridge. It was a little chilly. The fog was still covering the bay area so it was hard at first to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Joel and I really didn't care because it was a chance of probably a lifetime. Joel was loving the waves, and watching the different boats that were there.

 We decided to go inside Fort Point to check out the museum. It was fairly big. You could go into so many rooms. Joel loved seeing the cannon balls and the cannons. If we wanted to we could of went clear to the top, but we didn't. I got Joel a new hat and jacket while we were there. Everyone was not really dressed for the cold air that day. It was fun though just being together, and hanging out sightseeing.

   My brothers and my mom decided to back to where we were staying. My dad, Joel, Angel, and I decided to go over to Sausalito, California which is just across the Golden Gate Bridge. Just to look around, and check things out. It is a really nice place. I really enjoyed it there. I could of stayed there longer even than what we did. The only thing that I did not like was there was a weird dude with a snake on his shoulders walking around. The people in California are strange, but dude a snake. We walked and even watch a guy make sculptors out of the rocks. It was neat how he got them to balance even big rocks on their sides. We had a snack at this little hole in the wall place there. It was a very good Italian place. 
  It was hard to think it was our last day and night there. The week went so fast for us. My mom and my brothers made supper of Chicken Noodles and Mashed Potatoes. Then Angel and his dad took Joel to see Spiderman Movie. It was hard to let Joel go, but he wanted to see the movie so bad. I paced the whole time they were gone too. Joel did very well, and loved the movie. The next morning we got up very early to head back to Iowa. It was so hard to say good bye. Maybe some day we will get to go back out.
