California Trip

 

The view just a one minute walk from our hotel




I discovered I have a bridge phobia because the thought of driving over 8 1/2 miles of bridge to get to San Francisco scared me to death





So we took the ferry





We met Claude the albino alligator at the California Academy of Science



Doesn't Claude look creepy and hungry? 



Teeny named his momento Suchhi (because it kind of looked liked Sarco suchus Imperator or SuperCroc) with Mike, Junior and Abel her babies




Teeny in front of the Oakland California Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Isn't it beautiful?




And here is the whole reason for our trip.  I'd like to introduce you to SuperCroc.  It's mouth was so big I could have easily fit in it.




It looks like SuperCroc decided Teeny would make a nice snack




This elephant knew it was time to eat and was patiently waiting at the food drop off spot




Teeny channeling his inner alligator




View of San Francisco from the ferry on our way to Pier 39



Alcatraz island



We weren't the only one crazy for alligators and crocodiles.  Here's what we found in the window of Boudin's Bakery; bread shaped into a momma alligator and her baby with a few turtles.  I'm not sure why turtles but they're cute. 




Our last morning in California.  I had promised Teeny could make a sand castle everyday but we never got to it.  Here's is our last minute attempt made with a juice cup from breakfast.
