Last Day of Vacation-San Francisco

 We ventured out for our last day of vacation in San Francisco.  We started the day by rolling down the 'worlds windiest road-Lombard Street.'  The street is known for its eight sharp turns down the one way road, with a speed limit of 5 mph.  I did not get a photo of the street due to pedestrians and tourists, but it was a twisty ride.

I tried to capture a few photos of San Fran's homes.  Every corner, every street, every SINGLE neighborhood looks like the photo below.  Miles and miles and homes positioned side by side.  Beautiful, but I would miss my yard; no need for a lawn mower.
 And with each home comes the famous escape ladder...
 We walked down a portion of Chinatown, made a few purchases, and dined with local cuisine.

We made our way back to the piers to see the famous right field view of the Giants Stadium.


We had an memorable vacation to California.  Caroline took her first plane flight, we marked another state off our bucket list, saw a world wonder, and had lots of laughs.  Caroline's favorite part of the trip was seeing Shamu; Matt's favorite part of the trip was the Pacific Coast Highway; and my favorite was either the Golden Gate Bridge or Hollywood.

I was reminded of something very important during this trip.  Everyone is different; every community unique; there are so many different walks in life.  Many different beliefs, traditions, and priorities.   But...everyone loves.  The greatest command God gives us is to love.
