San Francisco, CA (April - 1998)...

Ashley and I took a big vacation to Northern California, and we had a busy agenda.  I have broken the pictures from the trip down into four photo albums, starting with this one. The others include Lake Tahoe/Sacramento, San Francisco, and Pebble Beach. 

After Napa Valley, Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, we headed to back to San Francisco.  We stayed just outside of the city, but we spent most of two days enjoying the sites of the city.  We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge, went to Alcatraz, went down Lombard Street, went to see Phantom of the Opera, Coit Tower, Pier 39, Chinatown, Little Italy, Twin Peaks and much more.  Here are some pictures from this part of the trip.

	Jay taking the bull (cow) by the horns (ears).		Is that Mrs. Doubtfire's house? I don't think so.
	Maybe Mrs. Doubtfire's house is down here.		Small but quaint house in the Pacific Heights area.
