We ate at a FANTASTIC seafood restaurant in Fisherman's Wharf that had been recommended to use by several people...it was called Scoma's!
We feasted on all kinds of FRESH seafood and it was all delicious! The highlight of the meal was a smoked salmon appetizer we had...words just can't do it justice! Of course we had coffee and dessert too and were in so much pain from how much food we ate...why do we always do that?
We could have used the 1.8 mile walk back to the hotel but instead we braved the roads again and once again made it back without injuring ourselves or anyone else!
We enjoyed sleeping in this morning and had a quick breakfast at the hotel and then we set foot to check out this city! We started out in Union Square where there are lots of restaurants and shopping!
Our next adventure was China Town...those of you that know Jason well know his amazing love for Chinese/Japanese food so I took my China man and we made our way through the streets of China Town!
There were all kinds of shops and restaurants but Jason wanted to eat something as authentic as possible so we did what we know best and asked one of the shop owners where we should eat. She recommended a place several blocks down but that's where we headed. We quickly found out that there was the "tourist" China Town and the "local" China Town!
When we discovered the "local" China Town" we came across all kinds of markets with fresh food and fish...
and windows and windows of fully cooked chicken, duck, and goose hanging up! Yum!
Unfortunately Jason had a slight confrontation with this statue...he claims he didn't like the way this dude was staring at him!
We walked back to the car and headed back home, but first we took a drive down Lombard Street...the "crookedest street in the world" with 8 switchbacks within one block...there are houses on each side of the street and beautiful hydrangeas planted all along the street! It was pretty cool! This was the view before we took the steep drive down...
and this is the view looking back after we drove down...
We were blessed with great weather...sun without a cloud in the sky...and that is not normal for San Francisco. We went home over the Golden Gate Bridge since Jason had never been over it and I was able to get a picture of the bridge without the tops being covered by clouds!
We had a great time being tourists but were anxious to get home to Riley! She had a slumber party with Jen and Cooper...painting, dancing, and cinnamon rolls...what more could a girl want? Thanks Jen for watching Riley so we could have a night on the town!

That's pretty crazy their wasn't any clouds! You obviously didn't hit San Fran on the right day. haha. : ) You definitely have to take the Alcatraz tour. It's neat and creepy all at the same time.
We ate in Chinatown once at one of their local restaurants. We got kinda nervous because we opened up their menu and the first 6 pages were all traditional & unreadable lunch options. Thankfully the very last page was want we were looking for: beef & broccoli, kung pao chicken, etc. Good to know they catered to the non-Chinese American. haha. Good times.
I'm glad you had a great birthday week. : )
What a horrible life you lead. Moving to Cali looks like it has been really hard on your family.
Looks like you had a great time! You guys look so cute together! Looks like an awesome place for some Arkansans to come visit--haha! What's the deal with the previous comment?! Hey, if you're going to be such a malcontent--at least have the guts to leave your name!
