San Francisco day 2: Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio, Disney museum

Today was a little easier with the jetlag, instead of waking up at 3 AM, I managed to sleep all the way till 4 AM. Once I got up I put together yesterday's blogpost.

The agenda for today was pretty simple

Presidio
Walt Disney Family Museum
Golden Gate Bridge
Palace of fine art
Dinner

We left the house around 9 today and started to walk down to the Presidio. I still can't believe how crazy steep some of the streets are in San Francisco




This is incredible, you have to see it for real to believe it

On the way to the Presidio, we passed Industrial Light and Magic, we saw this Yoda fountain there, that was pretty cool




We also passed the Presidio gate also known as the Lombard Street Gate



We spent some time at the Presidio visitor center

After 15 minutes or so we headed to the Walt Disney Family Museum

This was pretty cool, here are some pics from the Walt Disney Family Museum

My kids listening to something


A Universal camera



Frame by frame animations of Steamboat Willie



I also shot this short video of the animation of Steamboat Willie

This was pretty cool, probably my favorite part of the whole museum


Here we have the Witch..


Some of the paints used for the animation



Some propaganda work done during the war years

Adolf the clown??


Technicolor Camera DF-7



Television Set 1950s


It is ridiculous how small that screen was, your phone is almost bigger than that.

I liked this museum a lot, kids will love it.


After we were done with the Walt Disney Family Museum, it was time to go to the Golden Gate bridge

Here is a 3 second timelapse where you can see the waves move

And another panorama

I have many more pictures of the bridge, I won't bore you by posting all of them  :-)

Here is Torpedo Wharf



This one is a little closer



Fort Point
Fort Point is a masonry seacoast fortification located at the southern side of the Golden Gate at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This fort was completed just before the American Civil War by the United States Army, to defend San Francisco Bay against hostile warships. The fort is now protected as Fort Point National Historic Site

Up here it was so windy, I was scared to turn my head because I though my sunglasses would fly away

Palace of Fine Arts



The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. It was rebuilt in 1965, and renovation of the lagoon, walkways, and a seismic retrofit were completed in early 2009.
In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals and is a favorite location for weddings and wedding party photographs for couples throughout the San Francisco Bay Area

After all this we went for dinner at Nopalito for some Mexican food

Here is what it looks like when looking at the map that runkeeper produced



That is it for today, tomorrow we go to Napa.
