New reasons to love San Francisco

On a recent visit to S.F. with my parents to visit my sister's new apartment in the Marina District, it happened to be the most beautiful autumn day; warm, clear skies - a perfect day to take in the beauty of the city! Due to a certain someone forgetting her apartment keys that day, moving her furniture in was out of the question, so after we got over our brief annoyance and frustration, we decided to be tourists for a day, something our family had never done before. Although most of my mom's family lives in the city and we frequent the area often especially for holidays and special events, we have never really ENJOYED seeing S.F. So we walked around Fisherman's Wharf, ate a delicious lunch at The Boudin Bakery, then walked around Fort Mason and the highlight of our day - rode the cable cars! It was quite an ordeal actually! There was a super long line that day so after about an hour wait to get on a cable car, we finally got on and it wouldn't work - the cable line wouldn't connect. The entire process was actually really funny after such a long wait, there was a really funny group of East Coast tourists making light of the scenario which made the time pass easier. T was growing impatient with each minute that passed that we were stuck on the car and my burgeoning growing belly was quite uncomfortable sitting there awkwardly for so long. Turns out we had to get off that car, wait for a tow truck to take the broken down one and reload onto another cable car. So over an hour and a half of waiting and we finally got on our way! And T absolutely loved every second of the ride, especially when we went up and down the steep hills. The views were breathtaking to say the least. T ended up falling asleep sitting up just as we reached the end of the line, poor guy had held out so long that afternoon.
