SAN FRANCISCO - OPEN YOUR GOLDEN GATE!

What an interesting day.  We left for downtown San Francisco about 7am.  From Napa it was about a 1/2 hour drive to the ferry.  We caught the ferry in Vallejo  and by ferry it was about an hour ride.  I get such a kick out of it because we left our truck for the ferry then for the trolley then for the subway then for the bus, back to the ferry and our truck.  So the winner of who can guess how many wheels we road in San Francisco gets $200 donated to their favorite charity or gets to buy me a bottle of wine.  We did have a fun day, I was disappointed that Ididn't get to see Mark Swenson, Nancy's son but it is hard to do everything.  We did go to a dahlia show in Golden Gate Park right by The Arboratum.  We walked around Pier 39 and we went to The Crooked Street.  We had to do some shopping and since I have had a hard time finding visors I like we went the matching reversible San Francisco Jacket route.  Now we are really cute.  Because of Jim being silly and reading the schedule incorrectly, I can't say wrong, it's such a harsh word, we left S.F. A little later than planned.  Did I also tell you we bought some Pecan Sweet Potatoe Butter and according to Jim, it is to die for.  If you saw his sweet tooth rear it's ugly head you would just die.  He puts it on ice cream.
When we got back he was outside with Makons working on camper stuff and the 4 women next to us had put water in the wrong place in her camper, long story but it actually was 2 Mom's and Daughters in a brand new motor home. And the had the sewer backing up in the camper.  It happens, we have even done it.  There is so much to learn about your camper and all the salesmen really care about is getting it off the lot.  Avyway he must have spent an hour with the Mom's explaining the in' sand out's of their camper.  Jim told them to always just ask fellow campers, because they have been great to us.  Face it, after we get to our campground we are so grateful just to be there in one piece we are more than happy to give help to anyone that asks.
