We drove in and went to the Exploratorium, which is a great hands on science museum! Lots of experimentation and fun to be had there! We played with maybe half of the resources available, it takes up an entire pier! Then we walked to a deli for lunch, and reloaded the parking meter ($3/ hr!)
We met up with my cousin Courtney and her hubby Ted and walked through the Ferry Building. Fell in love with some more amazing chocolate and cheese! Then we decided to try out the Trolley! We went up into the hills and checked out the Cable Car Museum and walked back to the car through China Town.
Then we met up with my cousin in her neighborhood on Mission Street and tried some Peruvian cuisine at Limone! Fried whole chicken, rice, fried Yuca, ceviche (!), fried chicken with an amazing teriyaki like sauce, an awesome beef/steak dish, and beef empanadas!! I was super proud of the kids and me for trying lots of different, exciting things!
And while we were driving home, just in the nick of time, the San Francisco Giants won their game and made it into the World Series! Go Giants! So we got out just before the city exploded into celebration mode! phew!
Unfortunately I was too caught up in visiting and eating to take any pictures of the delicious food!
