Walking the Pier

After returning from our outdoor adventure we made a special trip to Pier 39. Pier 39 is the central attraction of Fisherman's Wharf, but we had motivation outside of just seeing all the sites. We were going to Bubba Gump Shrimp.

The seafood version of Hard Rock Café, but with two distinct differences, it was really good and actually fun. The highlight of the meal was us trying to figure out which came first, the movie or the restaurant. It would seem obvious that the movie came first, except they had 'Est. 1975' posted in a number of different spots.

Turns out it was created in 1996, by the Forrest Gump people. Tricky Tricky...

After we ate, we checked out the sea lions who are encouraged to sun themselves next to the Pier. There were easily 300 of the suckers flopping around in the comical way a water animal takes to land. Pretty amusing for us, but I'm sure their continuous barking has been the source of numerous employee psychological problems.

We then discovered Del Monte Square where they have live music on a daily basis. It's also a great place to sit around and taste a few of their 62 beers on tap, and we did.
