Here are some more photos I missed out from yesterday's trip to the Bay Area Discover Museum:
We had a smoothie and I am not sure how they do it but this plastic cup is made from corn???
As I had mentioned in my previous post, Graham loves to dig!
The "dab" is still in with these two monkeys. This was after leaving the Discovery Museum and we were heading over to the pier. Their hats are backwards because it was soooooooo windy!
Family we-fie!!!
Fort Baker fishing pier:
A view of the city from the pier. You can see some wind-surfers on the water. Looks like a lot of hard work!
And right before leaving the pier, we spot a couple of sea lions. Too cool!
For dinner, we swing by The Stinking Rose restaurant. It's basically a restaurant that serves everything with lot and lots and LOTS of garlic! No kissing tonight with Bobby!!!
After dinner, we walk around little Italy. Too bad this little Italian store was closed :-(
We find a hardware store that sells ladybugs! Except the lady bugs were sold in a container of 500 bugs and it needed to be refrigerated as that would keep them hibernating. Who knew! The store staff then asked if the boys wanted balloons and who wouldn't want balloons. Except that Graham lost a grip of his balloon/string and the poor lady that offered ended up on the ladder to retrieve it. These people are too nice:
We walk through Chinatown to get back to the hotel:
My quick moment with the Bruce Lee mural! I remembered watching his movies as a kid and he would do this thing where he flicks his nose with this thumb when he is about to fight, as if taunting the other person. Here's my tribute to another Lee! :-)
Still got the balloons!
This mural was rather bizzare - looks like the Goddess of Mercy but she is holding a scalpel???
The boys kept wanting to go to this park across the street from the hotel. It was evening and there were plenty of Asian men gathered playing something (I couldn't really see) and the Asian women were playing cards. Interesting past time!
I wonder how old this advertising against the brick wall is. Room rates are 25, 30, 35, or 50 cents per night or $1.50 per week, hot and cold water available!
Interesting building with 3 statues on the top?
Okay, quite the day! The next day, we are on the road back to LA but without Bobby. He has his interview this morning. He will be flying back into LAX and supposedly, the plan was for him to leave his car at the airport. Well, we had forgotten to do that on the way out of LA. So... that means we have to drive back and pick him up!
By the way, note to self: Next time before starting on a roadtrip, ALWAYS check the window wipers for valet tickets. Gosh, this tickets can make quite the buzzing sound!!!
In-and-out and McDonald's right next to each other. Win-win for both me and the boys!!! :-D
Phew!!! So hot halfway through the drive. It got up to 100F... are you kidding me??!?
Charlie has fallen asleep. Man down!!!
Los Angeles!!! That's the Getty Center up on the hill. I got caught up watching the TV series called "Trust" recently. Probably the only reason why I am familiar with that name. What a whacky story with how the family wouldn't pay the ransom for the grandson's kidnapping:
Well, we are early!!! Bobby's flight will only be landing in another 1 1/2 hours. So we head out to Marina del Rey for a quick look-see:
Running wild after 6 hours in the car:
Then, there is still more time so we have some ice-cream:
Instead of driving in circles, I decided to just park the car in the parking lot and we get out to greet Daddy. Talk about service!
The interview went really well. Stay tuned for details soon!!!
