Lost!!!! Without Our GPS!!!

So in our hurry to get out of town and onto our trip to San Francisco....we forgot to pack the GPS. We have never been to California without it and have always depended heavily upon it. However, that morning we found that we were able to find our way over to the Bay Bridge and into San Francisco without it. Once we were into the city though we got all turned around.

And that was a good thing. We ended up way over on the west coast when we were trying to get tot he Golden Gate Bridge. We were driving along Golden Gate Park and then came upon the beach. We kicked our shoes off, rolled up our jeans and walked out into the cold surf.

The water was freezing cold, but the waves were beautiful. We wandered up and down the the beach collecting shells, taking pictures and wading in the water until our feet turned numb. I don't think we would have gone over to the west coast on purpose.

Once we checked into our hotel, we were given a map of the city which helped us find our way around town for the rest of the trip.

Sometimes being "off route" is a good thing.
