More Day 4 Description

On Thursday, our first planned event was a Bay Cruise Adventure by the Blue & Gold Fleet. But first we took the F line down to Pier 35 to book a night cruise to Alcatraz. However, the cruises were all booked full until Sunday, so that canceled that idea for the evening. We continued to Pier 39 to catch the Bay Cruise, which was really nice and you were able to get a different view of the city and the bay. I thought going under the Golden Gate Bridge was really unique and I probably took way too many pictures, but I have a tendency to do that.

After our cruise we continued to walk to Fisherman's Wharf where we stopped to eat at Boudin Bakery, which has a large glass window to look into the bakery and you can watch and talk to the bakers. We each got a half sandwich and a bowl of clam chowder in a bread bowl. Later we took a bus to head over to the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped at the Palace of Fine Arts on the way. We continued to the Bridge and walked a short distance across it. On the bridge it was extremely windy and you could feel the bridge vibrate underneath your feet.

After staying at the bridge for awhile we headed to the Hayes area to look at some Victorian Houses, but on the way we stopped in Pacific Heights to see the house that was used in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Afterwards we headed to the Civic Center area of town and saw the government buildings of San Francisco. For dinner we stopped at New Delhi in the Union Square area. Here are some more pictures of our adventures on that day.
