Spring Break Day 5: San Francisco

Our first full day in San Francisco, we decided to be true tourists. We all wanted to ride a cable car so that was first on the agenda. And on many other people's agenda as well. Nonetheless, we got a spot on a car and took it for a ride down to Fisherman's Wharf. Aaron LOVED riding the cable cars and any other bus, trolley, public transportation for that matter.

Aaron kept saying "more" whenever we would stop. We rode it to the end of the line at the wharf.

For those of you who know San Francisco, Fisherman's Wharf is not close to the Exploratorium. It was the cable car that we caught without really caring where it took us. We walked along the wharf for a little bit and then found the trolley to take us to the Exploratorium. It was certainly nice to just wander and enjoy the city. 

On to the Exploratorium. What an amazing museum. Kyle and Emily were so engaged there all day. Aaron and I stayed just until lunch time. Jeff, Kyle & Emily went to an amazing Greek lunch and then returned for more exploring there. 

The toilet water fountain. Don't worry, it's clean and was never used for toilet purposes. It's about how we have a hard time overcoming our preconceived notions.

After spending the rest of the day at the museum while Aaron slept, we all reconvened to meet up my friend Nicole from college for dinner. We met up over in her neighborhood where all the restaurants are and had a fun Indian food dinner while we got to catch up. It had been about 4 years since I last saw her when she was in San Diego for a conference. 

Some more train rides. 

The kids finished the evening with a little reading and then it was lights out on a busy day.
