San Francisco, day one

We left Wednesday evening last week and stopped in Bakersfield, which, by the way, is just about exactly half-way between Las Vegas and San Francisco. The next morning we leisurely made our way into the city, arriving at the San Francisco Marriott around 2 p.m.

Our adventures on Thursday included hotel check-in and unpacking, rides on the carousel at Yerba Buena Gardens, a visit to the temporary California Academy of Sciences Steinhart Aquarium, and dinner at Mel’s Drive-In.

After that we were ready for bed.

Here are some photos from that afternoon and evening.
