Day 2 of our adventure started off again in Berkeley, but was quickly moved to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 along the San Francisco Bay. The Sea Lions are one of my favorite places to visit in San Fran. They sleep all day long, and occasionally bark making an "arf - arf" sound. A definite must see if you ever come here.

Fisherman's Wharf is filled with many unique little shops as well as famous chain stores. Beware because this area is a tourist trap (I admit we got trapped).

Both Jen and I are left handed, so we had to take a picture of our new favorite store. Left handed scissors, Pens, tape measures...you name it, they got it! Very cool!

Another one of my favorites is walking through the fish grotto and looking / eating the fresh fish. This stuff piratically came right off the boat. Jen and I were still full from breakfast, and I didn't think squid at 10AM would agree with the stomach, so I decided to pass today.


After Fisherman's Wharf, it was time to head on with our trip down to Monterey Bay. Monterey Bay is about a 2 hour drive south of San Francisco, but well worth the drive. The Penguins played the first hockey game of the 2nd round playoffs tonight against the NY Rangers so we just had to find a bar so we could watch the game. We drove into town and parked on Canary Row. Canary Row is about 5 blocks long with shops, restaurants, and more shops. The closest thing we could find to a sports bar was this place called Sly McFly's. We ate a late lunch here, and then cheered the Pen's to a 5-4 victory as they overcame a 3 goal deficient. Way to go Pens!!! I'm sure Jen was loving the fact that we were watching TV on vacation, but she knew what she was getting into when she married me right? Pittsburgh sports teams always come first!

So that about wraps up day two. I'll leave you with a nice shot of the bay and Monterey Peninsula!
PS: Only 1 1/2 days till the marathon!!!
