Here's an old hotel the church members used...there is a funny story about church members here. Apparently a guy- not a member of the church- used to ask the proprieter for whisky through the guy's room window by saying, "The Spaniards are coming". Well, one night, the members that were staying there heard this, and came out shooting to protect the hotel, later finding no bodies- they shot up the bushes!
A park in the middle of the city... a little quiet place with a pond, statues and benches.
The kids LOVED the Wells Fargo museum inside their corporate offices. Lots of hands on stuff for the kids!
The home where Wilford Woodruff died...
We played at the park in Chinatown for a LONG time, until a little Chinese boy threw sand at us- and then chased us around to throw more sand at us...
The money museum in a bank...This is money that was made by early pioneers and we saw bills actually signed by Joseph Smith. Also a $3 bill - one of 5 that were ever made.
More of the park- McKenzie being trampled on by the playing kids statue...
In Chinatown...the square.
The plaque for the first schoolhouse...members of the church started the first schoolhouse in San Fran.
Very cool! Who knew there was so much history of the church in SanFrancisco! Thanks Mikey!
