This last week we have been so lucky to have Charise, Bill, Brighton, And cole come visit us, while they have been on tour for Kids are music, and came a few days in advance to hang out.
For FHE we made fruit pizzas. Char and Bill tend to make yummy foods while they are vacation (I know from experience)
With Kids are music, Char took those who wanted, to go see Wicked. She bought tickets for her two boys, but then realized that you aren't allowed to have small children in the audience, so she sold her tickets to Ricky and Spencer. But because my mom didn't love the idea of Spencer and Ricky Riding the BART (or sort of "Subway") into San Fransisco alone, and Ricky has been saving his money to buy a new Ipod, I bought his ticket from him.
We Ride the BART into the City (Both of our first times into San Fran)
The next two days (3rd and 4th) We did a lot of fun sight seeing with Kids are Music. This is a fairly bad picture of Lambard street. Its really famous because it is so steep that the had to make 8 switchbacks in order for wagons and horses (back in the day) to be able to go up it.
*For those of you who know the Wingetts, We have been babysitting alot of them as of late, and we ran into them here on Lambard street on a total couincadence
Our first morning, we went to this really awesome kids museum called the "exploritoruim" Where they have a lot of really cool things for the kids to run around and learn about.
Kids are music kids play with awesome magnets and such.
This cool "fog machine" that you would push on and it would make.....
a Perfect "o"
Making Huge bubbles
Just outside the exploratorium is what they call "The palace of fine arts".
Its this REALLY awesome dome type thing with columns and awesome statues, that is modeled to look like greek art. It was built in the early 1900's for the "world trade fair" or something. They origonally had 11 domes, but knocked them all down except one. the domes where huge.
Just look at how small the kids look!
After the Exporitorium, we went to Fishermans Warf.
Hard Rock Cafe
This was fun to see in one of the shops since i still had WICKED on the mind.
P.S. notice my shirt says "There is no place like home".
I thought this was appropriate since these are the "san fran wicked shirts" (Meaning they only sell this shirt in san fran.
The view of the city at the end of the pier.
There are probably 100 sea lions that all just sit and lay on these docks
The beautiful ocean. This picture does not even come close to how beautiful it looked that day.
After Fishermans Wharf, We preformed at Gharadeli Square. (chocolate! yum!)
The next day (the 4th) We went to the Boudin Sourdough Factory. They made a huge Alligator out of sourdough
they have a little tour you can take of the factory. These pictures are some of the things we saw:
Preforming on the FOurth of July in Boudin Factory.
Our tour guide and his sourdough lobster
The trolleys
Loui Vuitton had the coolest display in Union Square (Where my dads office is- Which is cool because he works close to Prada, Gucci, ect)
The origional Chine Town. (They had China Town in San Fran before New York, because asians would come across the pacific ocean to get to america verses cross the whole world to get to New York)
Yes. that is right. a mouse, on top of a cat, on top of a dog.
That night was one of the coolest and patriotic Fourth of July's i have ever had. We got to spend it with the Grooms!
Kids are music got to preform on the U.S.S. Jerimiah O'Brian. (an old war ship from WWII)
It was neat to be in such a Patriotic place, with Patirotic music, on such a patriotic day.
IT was FREEZING
awesome fireworks over the ocen. (Which we got to watch from the ship!)
