Recommended music for this post: Scott McKenzie – San Francisco
On this #SomethingElseSunday, we’re spending a little time looking at pictures from my recent trip to California, where I was joined by this Legacy Collection R3-A2!
While I’ve had a connecting flight in Oakland, the Los Angeles area was the farthest north I’d ever been in California. Thankfully, when planning for a trip to San Francisco and some surrounding areas, this R3 droid decided to tag along.
I did have to do some last-minute work on the blog at the United Club, but R3 kept me company before the flight.
We eventually made it to Pier 39 to see the sea lions and other attractions. Don’t ask me how R3 managed to make it out to their platform or become life-size.
The full-size R3 also wanted a slightly closer look at some birds and Alcatraz Island.
The next morning, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, R3 was back to its normal size and requested a dashboard view for the journey over the bridge.
This was the Golden Gate Bridge North Vista Point, and we arrived early enough for some great views of the San Francisco skyline without much of a crowd.
Also included at Golden Gate Bridge North Vista Point is The Lone Sailor statue, dedicated to all of the Sea Services – Coast Guard (seen here), Marine Corps, Merchant Marine, and Navy.
We eventually made our way back across the bridge to the Presidio of San Francisco National Park.
The area is much larger than I expected and offers fantastic views of the bay from the city side, along with the attractions that actually brought us there.
R3 inquired about taking yoga lessons from this lady, but we definitely did not have time for that, as we really wanted to check out The Walt Disney Family Museum.
The museum was excellent, and I feel like you could spend many hours there poring over the many unique documents, artifacts, recreations, and models, including this massive model of Disneyland Park! Thankfully, they provided this cool ledge to border the short glass barrier, keeping you from getting too close. 😄
R3 and I will be back soon to share more pictures from the trip.
