For dinner, we went to Tokatsu Ginza Bairin, another one of our favorites spots.
Then we headed back to the hotel to get ice cream with Amelia and Ellie. They have been in Hawaii since Friday and were so happy to see us.
Ramen
By the time we arrived in Waikiki, everyone was super hungry. Our first meal was at Ramen Nakamura, one of Dada’s favorite spots. The soup, noodles, gyoza, and fried rice were so yummy.
Dim Sum
Janie also brought her camera and took photos of everything around her.
Lighted Boat Parade
This evening, we hopped on the Alameda Ferry to ride in the Lighted Boat Parade! We brought food on board and watched the sun go down as we left the dock.
Along the parade route, we saw boats decorated with lights and blown up figures.
Peanut found a port hole to look through.
The kids also had fun wearing their light-up bracelets and playing with their tiny flashlights too!
What a fun ride!!
Ferry Building
Today, we rode the ferry over to SF to pick up some french bread at Acme per our usual post-Thanksgiving tradition. We have so much turkey left over that some sandwiches are in order!
It was a rainy day but no one seemed to mind.
On the ride over, the kids played Go Fish.
Janie was also reunited with Chris, her favorite crew member from her days of commuting with Dada everyday!
After picking up our bread, we got in line for Hog Island Oyster Co. As we waited for a table, the kids played in the rain and puddles.
Janie still loves her oysters!!
The kids also got some soft serve before we headed back across the bay.
On our ride back, we bumped into her classmate and pal, Jasper, who was riding back after a day at the Exploratorium.
Spam Eggs and Rice
We got ready for our Hawaii trip with Spam, eggs, and rice for breakfast.
Baby Cafe
It was another day at home with Dada and they had lunch at Baby Cafe. That shrimp fried rice looks so good!
Silly Girl
Janie has the whole week off for Thanksgiving and was home with Mama today. When it was time to choose what to eat for lunch, she asked to go to Sidestreet Pho again. This silly girl really knows how to ham-it-up for the camera sometimes.
Pho for Lunch
After swim, the kids had lunch at Sidestreet Pho with Dada. Yum!
Pizza on Friday
On Fridays after swim, the kids like to have pizza at Spin.
Mama got some extra smooches from Peanut during dinner too.
