On Saturdays, the kids go to Kung Fu in the morning and then we go to the food trucks at Southshore Center parking lot to pick up lunch. Since they no longer have tables and chairs there, we take it to-go and eat it at the nearby park that has a pretty view of Bay Farm and the city in the background.
This evening, we went out for a fancy dinner at Five Crowns with the family to celebrate Mama and Uncle Johnny’s birthday. It was our first real dining experience in a long time.
They seated us at a big round table together under a patio cover and the kids enjoyed the activity sheets they were given.
It was a nice dinner at a restaurant with family after being home for so long.
Today is Mama’s birthday and since she took the day off, we drove to San Francisco after Zoom classes were done. We went to the Ferry Plaza and found it deserted.
They had outdoor tables for us to sit and wait for our table at Hog Island Oyster Co.
Janie drew a cute picture while we waited.
It was fun eating at Hog Island again after so many months. They had tables spaced out nicely and the food was just as good as we remembered.
Peanut enjoyed eating his clams. He also managed to entertain himself with the empty shells too
No trip to the Ferry Plaza is complete without soft serve from Gott’s. It was nice to be back in our old hang out spot but we were sad to see how the pandemic has really turned off the hustle and bustle of the city.
Peanut is showing interest in Legos suddenly and it was quite the confidence-booster when he built this plane on his own with just a little help from Mama to find certain pieces.
Watching him reminded Mama of how Uncle Johnny used to spend hours in his room building cool planes and other contraptions with Legos.
We started Kung Fu again since they are open and have been holding classes at Lincoln Park. It’s nice to be able to hang out on a blanket in the sun instead of freezing in the studio.
Outdoor dining also opened up so we went out for lunch on Park St. They made a parklet in an alley so you can buy food to-go and eat at the tables.
