Part 2- San Francisco


With great excitement Paul and Grayson arrived in San Fransisco. They had so many new experiences. I think they were a little overwhelmed by the size of the city, and it took them awhile to get comfortable. They had the "unique" city experience of interacting with and observing some of San Fransisco's more colorful characters, including the very intoxicated transient that threatened to kick, hit and pee on their car as they arrived at the hotel.

While they were there they also went to the Aquarium of the Bay,

watched sea lions at Pier 39

and got dizzy on a carousel at Fisherman's Warf.

They saw cable cars and street cars,

Grayson got his picture drawn,

and they checked out the mermaid statue at Ghirardelli Square.

They rode the street cars,

saw an albino alligator at the Academy of Sciences

and visited the Palace of Fine Arts.

And at the Exploratorium Grayson conquered his ingrained perceptions and drank from a toilet bowl drinking fountain.

Such great memories!

WHAT an awesome trip! I love this idea of taking just one kid on a trip. Looks like Grayson had a great time -- so many cool things to see!
