The day after the wedding while our newlyweds were honeymooning; the rest of us had a fun day to play in San Francisco. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to Luke early that morning who had to drive back to Sacramento for work. Reilly, Hunter, and Karson headed out to spend the day at the zoo. The rest of us headed out for a day of sight-seeing. First up was breakfast at the famous Tartine. Kirk and I love Tartine! We came here with my mom on our last trip. She was so excited to eat at this famous spot. On our trip with our mom, we miraculously arrived at the perfect time, and avoided the insanely long line that immediately formed after us. The same thing happened this time! We were even able to get a few seats to share before the line was out the door and down the street!
I love their quiche (truly the best I have ever had) and their almond croissants.
Then we were off to sight see. Our next stop was the Painted Ladies. Our girls are big Full House and Fuller House fans so this was a must stop.
We walked around and looked at the beautiful architecture and neighborhoods. We also drove down Lombard Street the "Crookedest Street in the World" and we drove down the steepest street in San Francisco and it was crazy!
Then we headed down to Fisherman's Wharf. We walked all over and watched the sea lions at Pier 39. We did some shopping in the tourist shops. We all got Christmas ornaments and some other touristy things. In our mom's memory, we stopped at the little crab shack that she loved. We got some crab in her honor. After that it was onto the cable cars and trolleys.
I love this picture of Kirk and Tyler. Brothers for the last 32 years. Kirk is more of a brother to Tyler than his own brother and Tyler's has truly been a brother to Kirk. Tyler came on the scene when Kirk was 10 years old and Kirk adored him on the spot. They are the best. Two of my favorite guys.
We all hopped on and rode to Chinatown.
It was so fun walking all over in Chinatown. We went into a whole bunch of little shops and enjoyed the sights, sounds, and the whole bustling atmosphere.
The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory.
We walked right past the LDS church.
We had a great time!
We loved all of the Waymos. The self driving cars that are robotaxis. We really should've hopped in one. I regret that we didn't do it. "You say Waymo... I say Waymo!" Then we hopped back on the trolley and rode back down and headed to Boudin's for sourdough.
Tyler was excited to get his favorite clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl!
Then we were off to Japantown which is one of my very favorite places in San Francisco. I took a lot of videos there but no pictures. :( Japantown has such good food... plus boba and mochi. Our girls love Daiso (there is also one in Seattle). We roamed all over, shopped, ate, and completely wore all of the kids out! They slept all the way back to the Airbnb.
That night we all hung out at the Airbnb and stayed up late talking and eating all of of our leftovers/groceries that we had before most of our group left the next day.
Kirin with his new shirt that he bought. It was such a fun day with some of my very favorite people making all kinds of fun memories together.
