San Francisco

This last week end Ryan and I got a little get away to San Francisco. Although it was to work we were excited to be able to play tourist for at least one day.  That day was cut very short due to the fog that San Fran is known for and freezing fog in Portland. upon boarding the plane we were told that we were going to have to wait in the plane for an HR because of weather in San Fran. At this point I was Sooo happy that I made sure I got up at 3:30am so we could be to the airport 2 hrs before our flight.
 Any who after two shots of deicer we were on our way. After arriving in San Fran almost 3 hrs late after all said in done I thought for sure that our trip to Alcatraz was NOT going to happen. In big bold letters it says, basically you don't show up for the time that you you paid for you will not go. Lucky for us they felt sorry for us and let us on.

                             Ryan could not make out what that bright round thing was in the sky.

                                                               We had beautiful weather! 
                                                  This was a photo of Alcatraz from the plane.

                                                                Very dangerous man!
         It was almost all worth it because this really cool guy gave us a tour that not many get to go on.



                                                        San Francisco treat! *DING*
                         Really cool street. Ryan would not go slow enough so I could take photos : (
                       Golden gate bridge. the lanes were VERY narrow. Made me a little nervous.

All in all it was a really fun time and a  nice get away.

Things I learned about flying in a  airplane.

1. If the deicer sits on the wings for more then 20min before take off you must reapply it.
2. One ding in the cabin shortly after take off means you can now turn on your electrical devices. One ding    as you are getting close to landing means turn them back off.
3. Two dings means that the captain needs to speak with the flight attended.
4  And that you NEVER want to hear BRACE, BRACE, BRACE, when you are on an airplane!
