Day 3- Gilroy, CA














After leaving the state park, we took a windy highway (US 175) towards Highway 101 to San Francisco. The road was crazy curvy and Auntie Brenda was a little bit nervous (Nana was having fun!). We did see alot vineyards with delicious looking grape clusters hanging from the vines. Papa wanted to get some grapes. We finally made it to HWY 101 and over the foggy Golden Gate Bridge into the city. The city is beautiful and it was a nice sunny day. We went to our favorite spot at Chowders on Pier 39 in Fisherman`s Wharf. Nana & I had some yummy fried zucchini and Papa ate his fish & chips. After visiting the seals and taking in the view of the bay, we headed up Telegragh Hill to the Coit Tower. At the tower, we purchased our tickets then got to ride a old rickety elevator up to the top. The elevator operator was funny and we could barely understand a word she said. The view at the top was amazing and we could see all of the city. The bathrooms at the tower were a little less amazing. They looked neat from the outside but had no toliet seat, toliet paper, or sink to wash hands (yuck!!). Nana really had to go so she braved it and used alot of hand sanitizer. After a long adventurous day, we land in Gilroy (a smaller city south of San Francisco).
