The Other Painted Ladies

We hit the ground running in San Francisco, and packed our short time there with several fun tours hitting up all the must-see and of course touristy spots. Our first full day started off with a delicious breakfast at Boudin Bakery before taking the ferry over to Alcatraz.

On the tour, you're given headphones to wear that you press play on when you get to a certain point. The tour guides are former correctional officers and even a few inmates, and they tell you where to walk and when to stop so they can describe certain places and events from when the prison was open.

After Alcatraz, we took an Uber into town to track down the Painted Ladies and then walked about a mile to find the Full House house which is on Broderick Street. Much to the disappointment of my friend who didn't realize the Painted Ladies were beautifully painted houses on what is known as "post card row". He was looking forward to the other kind of painted ladies that you may find in Key West. But he was a good sport, and let us girls take pictures and pose on the steps of the pretty blue house before making our way over to the Tanner's to see if Uncle Jesse was home.
