Muir Redwood Forest

We took a bus trip today to see more of God's wonderful creation. These trees were so gigantic!!

Lori and I got two free sight seeing tickets for a lady working out in the hotel gym so we bought one more and all us went on the bus.  We toured the city, then went to Sausalito.  We had hamburgers for lunch.  They we were so good!!

Then we went to the Redwood Forest!!  God sure is amazing!!!

 This tree fell on Dec. 21, 2012 and sounded like thunder.

Coit Tower

Today we had a slow day.  We got up later than normal as we didn't get home and to bed until after 12 yesterday.  So Lori and I worked out.

Then we went to Coit Tower.  It had wonderful views.

After Coit Tower we went to Union Square.  Just walked around for a bit.  I came back to the hotel and worked on some school stuff.
