Day 7 - Sunday

Wow, I just typed "Day 7" and it hit me, we've been on the road for a whole week. Let me tell you something, it feels like we've been gone for a month. We can hardly remember what Memphis looked like at this point!

Two major things to take away from today: first, San Francisco was an awesome experience and second, we have turned back east, and are heading back home slowly but surely.

San Francisco was the largest city we have seen so far, and it was very unique. From the Golden Gate Bridge, to Fisherman's Wharf, to the general weird layout of a city that stretches across hill, valley and coast line.

We had a nice seafood lunch at Fisherman's Wharf, and then we walked to Ghirardelli's Square.





We also saw an opportunistic sea lion hanging out next to the boats returning with fish. He hasn't missed many meals.



This is when we had a few pictures taken of us by the trolley driver. It's probably the best picture of the day.



After leaving San Francisco in the early afternoon, we headed towards Lake Tahoe. Presently, we are holed up in another Motel 6 watching a show about elephants on Animal Channel. Chris is fascinated. Hahaha. To be fair, it is a pretty cool show. Bryan is eating sliced ham straight out the package. No one can say we aren't roughing it!

Here are a few pictures of our drive into Tahoe. Tomorrow we're going to go looking for some red woods and sequoias. We're on the way back!
