I apologize for being MIA these past couple months; I've been terribly busy getting ready for moving overseas to Sweden. I have been out to the barn, helping Laura get ready for Bishop Mule Days and watching her ride with her trainer, who rides FEI horses.
On Friday the 20th, my family went to San Francisco to get our passports finalized. We took the BART from Colma into town. While in San Francisco, we wandered all around town. Below are some of the photos that I took while there.

| This is the Sorting Hat. I found it in the Mechanical Museum, where there are many old arcade games. Most of the games are mechanically operated and are from before the days of video games. I also played a mechanical bike race game with my brother(you had to twist nobs to move the bikes) and won. My brother played Pong with my dad and was defeated by many points. I watched a mechanical galloping horse, but I haven't uploaded the video. It was very exciting to see the museum, and I highly recommend going there next time you go to San Francisco. |

| WWII ship called the O'Brien. My dad told me that many of those ships split in half and sunk because of a design flaw(the ports were squares, not circles). |
Then we to the Norwegian Church, where my parents were married 18 years ago. It has a marvelous view.
 |
| Of course we went to Lombard Street just after, and I took a picture. |
We then walked back to the BART station, returned to our car, and headed. Except for spending about an hour getting our passports, another hour in the Norwegian Church, and about 20 minutes eating lunch, we spent the entire day walking or standing.
