We had a very big day yesterday. We crawled all over the city, seeing several sites and neighborhoods. We started with Lombard street and then went on to Telegraph Hill, where Mark and Josh went up to the top of the tower. This was the only sunny part of the day, so it was perfect.
Next was Chinatown and lunch at a Dim Sum restaurant...that was quite an adventure to be sure. Shrimp to sharkfin dumplings and all sorts in between.
Next stop was the castro/mission districts. Plenty of wild life to be seen all over there. We then skirted the edge of Golden Gate Park to the ocean, Presidio and NW coast of the southern penninsula. Finally, we headed to the Fillmore area. We parked, walked the area a little and had dinner at a very nice Italian resteraunt. We celebrated Mark's birthday with a fine meal.
After dinner, we headed off to see the concert. Some unknown band opened for sia. Picture Danny Devito with long hair on the sides, a comb over on top and by the time their set was done, the little bald fat guy was on stage with nothing but his underware. It was all pretty funny actually.
Sia (pronounced...see-ah) was excellent. We had no idea what to expect, but she was great. Everything from pop on up. She really interacted with the crowd & they loved her.
Today...Muir woods to see the redwoods and then on to Sonoma & Napa area to see a winery or two.
Tim, Josh & Mark
Wow...awesome pictures. Jealousy didn't hit until I read your excerpts and saw the photos. Mark knows how much I like tunnels (or natural - looking ones); the picture from the drive to the coast was the best.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you're having a good time - I think the boys are getting used to their new routine. I think they really just like Paula's toys. They got to play with Kyle and Samantha yesterday (b/c of President's day) and again today (b/c of a 2-hr delay). Please continue to be careful and I'm looking forward to your homecoming. Love, Diane
