Day 5 and we have to go home! We slept in until 10, packed our stuff up (barely fit), and dropped it off with the bell man for our last adventures before our plane ride at 6:50.
Our first stop was the Aquarium of the Bay on Pier 39. I love aquariums, but I think I've been spoiled from the Aquarium of the Pacific (Long Beach) and the Maui Aquarium (Hawaii).
All the fish were brown, which I understand is because they are cold water fish... but I wasn't expecting that. Here is a giant sea bass.
They have two giant tunnels with fish and little sharks. Although the flash makes it so you can't see them behind Melissa and I.
Melissa and her greatest fear, sharks.
Upon leaving the Aquarium, we walked to our favorite store on Pier 39--the Candy Baron! The first day we were in SF, I went into this store and bought some salt water taffy and ate all of it. Melissa went the second day and got more... the last day we needed enough to actually make it home.
They have chocolate chip cookie dough taffy?!? And cheesecake taffy?!? YUM!
We watched the sea lions for almost an hour.
The big black one in the middle was entertaining--he was clearly in charge and did not let any other males get on "his" terrority. He chased them off with barking and jumping over and over again.
After the sea lions, we headed back to the hotel, got our stuff and jumped on the F bus which took us to the BART. We saved $0.10 by riding the BART an extra six stops.
And we're back in San Diego at 8 pm. Again, uneventful flight. Mom and Dad picked us up and home we went!
The End
