Exploring

After getting an energy boost at In-N-Out for Wednesday lunch,

...we starting exploring a couple blocks from our hotel.  We decided not to rent a car on this trip and do everything by foot.   We took a tour of the "Jeremiah O'Brien" Liberty Ship.   It was used at Normandy and is one of two surviving vessels of its kind.  It is still taken on voyages and takes you back to a different era while on board.

There were several "General Purpose" Vehicles loaded onboard, or "G.P.'s" or what was eventually shortened to "Jeeps"!  I have had a number of Jeeps in my time, so I found this to be interesting.

We ended up on Pier 39, the tourist trap!  It was fun, though.  We had to stop and watch the stupid sea lions bark and fight for their turf! You can tell who has the camera most of the time and thinks of taking pictures! I am going to try to take it away from her more often...wish me luck!

In-n-out needs to come to Texas! Yummy! My favorite wharf meal is clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl! Now I'm really hungry!

We love In-N-Out! I'm sure we will eat there again before going home. We also had clam chowder in a bread bowl on the wharf! Food is a BIG part of vacation!
