49ers Game
Sea lions on Pier 39
Kelli & Larry Shipman
For my ten year trip, my wife and I went to San Francisco, California to see a 49ers game. We were there for the Monday night season opener against the Vikings. We went through the 49ers museum before the game and had 5th row seats in the end zone with a perfect view of all the 49er touchdowns. The 49ers won that game 20-3. We spent a day salmon fishing on the ocean. I hit the limit within the first 20 minutes and kept getting bites all day. We both hit the limit with 2 salmon each. On the way back in, we were followed by a few of the famous sea lions of Pier 39 who were hoping for some scraps. We spent a day walking all the way through Golden Gate Park to the ocean. After spending a few minutes wading in the cold ocean, we walked the Land’s End trail along the coast and all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. On our last day, we rented a go car and drove around looking at all the sights like the Painted Ladies and drove down the crooked Lombard Street. We took a night tour through Alcatraz. We were actually locked in solitary con- finement with a few other people for 60 seconds in complete darkness. We also went to Madam Tussauds; the wax museum, the San Francisco Dungeons, Aquarium of the Bay, California Academy of Sciences, went on a boat tour and took a tour of a submarine. We rode the cable cars which were like a roller coaster with all the San Francisco hills. Thank you to Crest Foods and the Meiners Family for my trip. We had a great time!
