San Fransisco

One day of down time for the kids and then off on another adventure! This time San Fransisco. Tyler wanted  China town, so that was where we started.

 All of the kids were unsure about the local markets we peeked into. Dried fish, mushrooms, herbs, even a shark fin!! The smell chased us out of a few stores. I found a little front window vendor selling Chinese pastries. We got some filled with veggies, meats, fruit, and a donut. Even the very timid eaters (Jessie and Thea) tried something. The girls only tried the donuts and were not impressed. Just because it is covered in sugar does not guarantee tasty-ness! The were very raw on the inside. The meats were good. Veggies - boring. Fruits...they were the best. Probably because the fruit was more custard desert type. But we all tried it, it was interesting, different. We worked on that...saying its different, not gross, ugly, disgusting!

 

How can you resist anything this face requests? Tyler was having a rough time finding the right souvenir. He settled on designing a necklace with a Snake which is the year he was born.
 Picking the pieces.  
Final product, he was very proud of his design!


After China town..the wharf for some food. Yum!
Tatum tried...it all, as usual. Calamari,   veggies, chowder, sourdough. You cannot go to the wharf without sourdough bread bowl and Chowder!     
Pretty Ladies. Girls always have a smile right before CHOCOLATE!

Top Gun, take two?

Buy two pair, get one free.....Yes, kids you can pick our sunglasses. 
Baby ride!
 Tatum didn't stop smiling while on his shoulder, she thought is was the best!
 Family size!
Before.....   
After! We came, we conquered. Tatum would scream progressively louder between each bite!
Success, exhausted kids!
