After visiting some “absolutely massive” sequoias (per Sean ), we headed back to the coast. We stayed several days at a quiet and peaceful KOA campground Costanoa. 

Mom and I walked 25 minutes down to the beach. It was stunning with waves pounding against rocks and tons of pelicans. We will add pictures at the end of the trip. The main downfall to this campground is the intermittent wifi. In order to get a more consistent signal you needed to get closer to the general store. 

 We spent the next several days touring San Francisco which was only an hour from the campground.     

     Our first day we drove down to the piers and walked 1.4 miles to pier 39. We ate at hard rock (Nana’s favorite – lol) and then shopped a bit on the busy pier. Occasionally we sat on benches outside the busy stores. The boys were thrilled to see Alcatraz and the golden gate Bridge.  

    
 Day two involved visiting the Burlingame museum of PEZ memorabilia. We all enjoyed stopping to get a picture with the largest PEZ dispenser and having a personalized tour of the museum (back room of the small store). 

Next we traveled back into San Francisco to visit the mosaic steps before we took a quick drive down the famous Lombard Street. 

We finally hopped onto the 2.5 hr Big Bus Tour of San Francisco  where Sean was a little smooshed until the second stop which was really the beginning of the tour. The highlight of the tour was driving over the golden gate Bridge. 

    On our last day, the boys decided to stay in the rv and I left provisions they could heat up in the microwave for dinner. Mom and I went back to San Francisco to shop Fishermans Wharf and ride the cable cars. 

Our next trip will be to see Yosemite. 

Take care y’all
