Day around the Bay

On Saturday April 14th we got the chance to hang out with our friends the Spoons. We met up with them at a marine mammal center and watched the volunteers feed the sea lions that were there rehabilitating. We also spent some time at the beach, and a discovery play center. As we were driving around we were also able to see some amazing views. Here are some pictures from our day with the Spoons:

Like we said before, the weather was beautiful all weekend.

Sea Lion's lounging at the mammal rescue center.

Ducks enjoying the cool lagoon.

View of the Golden Gate from outside the harbor; San Francisco is in the background.

We barely managed to get set up in time to catch the sunset.

It was so windy on the point that we could not leave our camera on the tripod to shoot both of us.

Enjoying the beauty.

Pier 39

We also explored Pier 39 on our day driving around the city.  We walked around and got some clam chowder, enjoyed the sea lions, took in the views, and got 1.5 pounds of salt water taffy (YUM!).  The sea lions have now been at the pier for over 20 years.  After the earthquake in 1989 destroyed the docks in the area, the sea lions came in and pushed some docks out.  They have been on those docks ever since and are now protected to live their.  Here are some of the pictures we took on the pier: 

Awesome kite shop 

The wind was perfect to capture the lawn decorations from the kite shop.

These two sea lions look like they are cuddling but they were really playing and pushing each other off of the dock. So much fun to watch. 

This guy just decided to hobble over everyone else. The others weren't very happy. 

This was the king of the Sea Lions
