Day 13 - CA

So, in the morning we did the very touristy area of San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf. Erik took us for our very first In n' Out Burger experience, which was really good! We both got Double Doubles with milkshakes.

Then we walked over to the Museum Mechanique, which is a collection of old video games and coin operated machines pretty much since they were invented. The most interesting ones were the executions. You would put in a quarter and a door would open to an execution, like a hanging or a guillotine. I am not sure why something like that would have been made, but they were interesting to see. There was this fortune telling machine there that typed up a fortune for you on an old typewriter that gave really accurate fortunes to Erik, Tommy and myself. It was eerie.

After leaving the museum, we drove Erik to work, where he treated us to homemade lemonade. Then we were off. We decided to take the Golden Gate Bridge, even though it was out of the way. It is crazy how foggy it gets. We took a video going over that we will post soon.

Unfortunately, because of crazy amounts of traffic, we did not make it very far at all. After sitting in traffic for about 3 hours, we decided to pull off the highway and go to the movies. If you ever find yourself in Fairfield, California, I highly recommend the Edwards Cinema. Great theater. We saw Inglourious Basterds, which was a really fun movie. Better than we both expected. After the movie, we drove a little while longer but we didn't get very far before we were both exhausted. We ended up stopping in Rancho Cordova, CA to sleep for the night, which was probably a lot smarter than driving while exhausted.

Onward to Nevada!
