In honor of my birthday, David took us to spend a day in San Francisco!
We began with an awesome crab feast lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack! It was our first time there, and we loved it!! ‘A’ was in absolute crab heaven. We got him his own steam pot. ‘R’ was happy with his cheese pizza, and enjoyed playing with the crab claw I gave him.
The ocean runs in my blood and I love all things seafood. I can pick a crab clean in record time. It’s not pretty, but it sure is YUMMY!
The wait staff does a dance every 45 minutes. I caught a little on tape…
After a thoroughly satisfying lunch, we walked along Fisherman’s Wharf, with the intent to suprise the kids with an Alcatraz tour. Unfortunately, they were sold out, so on to plan B…
This is the Boudin bakery. They have a glass window where you can see the bakers in action and interact with them through an intercom system…
We drove through the neighborhood, Cow Hollow, then took the top off our Jeep to drive through the Presidio.
We stopped and walked the grounds of the Legion of Honor.
The courtyard contained a single sculpture, ‘The Thinker’ by Rodin. The boys were excited to see it and said they knew this piece. I was all proud of my homeschool mom self, and assuming it was from one of our art lessons that they learned about it, I asked them where they learned of it. Both replied enthusiastically, “The Night at the Museum”! (I’m thinkin’….I’m thinkin’…)
We continued on the Ocean Beach, and managed to stay on the beach for maybe 20 minutes. It was so windy, the sand kept blowing up in our faces. This was the kids highlight of the day, so we had to make due for a while.
On the way back, we drove through another beautiful neighborhood, Monterey Heights. They were filming a movie there. We did not stop to find out what it was.
It was a FUN FAMILY DAY!
