The first thing we went to see were the seals that sun themselves out on the docks during the day. They are still migrating so there weren't very many there but Jeremiah thought they were pretty cool.
The island in the background is Alcatraz. We didn't visit the island this time, but in a few years, Jeremiah would probably really like it.
Since it was almost mommy's birthday, we stopped at one of the shops and she and Jeremiah picked out a pearl from a fresh oyster. It is a really unique steel blue color. We had it mounted in a ring. Sadly, the ring post that the pearl was mounted on broke off shortly after she was allowed to wear it. We found the pearl but we now have to ship it back to the manufacturer in Hawaii to get it fixed. There's no guarantee we'll get the exact same pearl back. Very sad.
We stopped for lunch at the Boudin sourdough bread bakery. The line was rather long so Jacob entertained Jeremiah by lofting him atop his 6'5 or so frame.
And by offering his glasses.
Our final stop was at Ghirardelli's World Famous Chocolate Shop. We all had sundaes and Jeremiah tried his first maraschino cherry. Which he also loved. Along with more whip cream.
Even though we were really tired by then, I think everyone had a great time. I'll let you be the judge from their expressions though.

I find it a surprising coincidence that given the size of the Earth and the number of people we know on various parts of it, we happened to be in the same city at the same time.
San Francisco seems to be some kind of center for randomly bumping into people you know (especially if you know a lot of software people). Lucas has run into nearly half a dozen of his college friends just wandering around the city. And they all went to college in Bombay. And he's only been to San Francisco twice!
I am not so lucky, or sometime during the week, I would have stumbled into you guys while we were there. Though Lucas does claim an advantage in the fact that Indian people tend to notice other Indians in a crowd, while we western Europeans tend to be the crowd.
Ah HA! Found you! You thought shaving your red hair would disguise you, but not for long my friend.
How are you? Congratulations on the kid. Colorado is it? We're in Chicago now and we have a daughter of our own.
I'm glad to have found you here, although I think one time I discussed with Meg that we had lost contact with you and then here she has a comment right here on your blog!
