Aquarium

November 13, 2016 No Comments

Janie asked to go to the aquarium today so that’s what we did. In the tunnel, she said “hello” to the scuba diver.

We got there when it opened for members only so it was nice and empty for the kids to see the fish.

Peanut had fun wandering around on his own and there was so much to see and touch.

One of his favorite things to do was swiping his finger on the iPad displays.

In the middle of the day, we stopped for a snack outside on the patio.

When we went back inside, Peanut walked along the sting ray and shark exhibit.

He’s so different from his big sister who was so scared to walk over the round windows looking over the water. Peanut didn’t even notice and walked right over them.

Here he is getting up off the floor and making some fast pivots in different directions. This walking thing is getting pretty easy for him.

For lunch, we went down the street to Pacific Catch and had a preview of the tasty food we’re going to have in Hawaii. Janie and Mama shared a poke trio with seaweed salad – Janie’s favorite!

Then we stopped for soft serve on the way back to Golden Gate Park.

The kids also got to play around the Japanese Tea Garden before heading back to the car.

We had lunch at Hog Island Oyster Co. today. Ever since soccer started, we hadn’t been going to the Farmers Market. The kids did a great job waiting patiently in line and then were treated to a feast once we got seated.

Today, Peanut figured out how to suck the contents out of a squeeze pouch and it came in handy at the restaurant.

Janie wanted Mama to take funny photos of her at the table. This is one of them.

And there’s her smile! So much better.

What a fun lunch at one of our favorite places!!

We had Chinese food this evening and Peanut snuck a piece of salt and pepper pork off the platter when Mama wasn’t looking.

On our way home after visiting some Open Houses in Alameda, Janie said she wanted rice, pork, and soup for dinner. So, we went to Chinatown and had dinner at Washington Bakery (one of our favorite places!)

We had noodles, rice porridge with pork, and wonton soup – all the things she wanted.

The server also brought a bowl and spoon for Peanut, which he enjoyed playing with once he was done eating.

Janie also asked for hot soy milk and said “I’m good at drinking from this cup like Captain Barnacles!”

Empty Plane

November 1, 2016 No Comments

We flew back to SF today and both kids were in a pretty good mood.

We flew Virgin America this time around and our plane was super empty!

Mama and Peanut moved to the back row, which was completely empty. Peanut got his own seat and had a great time snacking and playing. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes to have extra space and no neighbors around us. The row in front of us was also empty!!
