San Francisco - Day 4

Hi again everyone! Sorry that our San Francisco recap is taking so long... Mom is really pokey with helping me blog.

So Day 4 started out in a really tasty way. We met up with Josh in The Mission and he took us to the much-acclaimed Tartine for delectable, flaky, buttery yumminess.


Everything looked so incredible that mom ordered enough to feed a circus. I guess you could call me, daddy, and Josh a circus. Anyway, she bought a croissant, a lemon cream tart, and a grougere. Everything was amazing and the croissant was the most amazing we've ever had!

Laa laa loo! Oh, you fantastic food!
I like you because you're oh-so-good!
Every bite is so buttery and yummy...

I love you most when you're in my tummy!!!

Afterwards, we took a fun cable car ride to Musee Mecanique. I wish I had a picture to share, but mom and dad got to ride on the outside of the car and they had me tucked away for safety. They had a great time, though, even though it was a touristy thing to do.

Musee Mecanique is one of the coolest places ever! It's a huge collection of extremely cool vintage coin-operated amusement machines. Think Zoltar from the movie BIG. They were so rad (as long as you don't mind the slight creepy factor).


One machine piqued my interest... I was hoping that Naughty Marietta would have some new pranks I could play on Zeldy and Ramona. Mommy made me pose for Picture 37/365 of the 365 Days Blythe Project before I could ask her about Naughty Marietta. I think she was up to something...


Me: Mommy, may I see Naughty Marietta do her stuff?

Mommy: Well, let me make sure it's OK first...

Me: Why wouldn't it be OK?

Mommy: We'll talk about that when you get older... * looks * It's OK - you can look!

Me: Yay!


Me: * peeks * Eeeeewwww!!! MOOOOOM!!! Gross!!!

Mommy totally tricked me! I saw yucky girly bikini pictures and didn't learn any new pranks at all!

There was a really cool photo booth and mommy thought that I might feel better if I got to take some pictures.


She was right - it did make me feel better. I laughed so hard at some of the pictures that my belly hurt.

I couldn't get them right, so I had to keep going back to the guy for more change to take more pictures. Apparently, the guy that made change doesn't have a name.

So here are my photo booth pictures! See how funny I look?


And the absolutely BEST machine in the house was a Bimbo Box. How can you not love monkeys that play Herb Alpert?!?!

After Musee Mecanique, we caught a tour of Chinatown.

The San Francisco Chinatown is awesome! It's HUGE!!! There is so much to see and there is so much history.

I think mom was happy to see so much that related to her culture. We don't see so much Chinese stuff in Atlanta.

After the tour, we caught a yummy vegetarian meal. Everyone really enjoyed it. We had potstickers, eggplant, and chow fun. Mmmm mmmm!!!

And then we had the absolute best Chinese egg tarts (dahn taht) we've ever had at the Golden Gate Bakery. They were so perfectly flaky, warm, and custardy! I could eat them everyday. Yummy!!!

After that, Josh left us while he went to brush up on some guitar before his class.

Mom, dad, and I walked to the Haight. We stopped in at Kidrobot again for more zipper pulls and then mommy checked out Goodwill and Giant Robot while dad was at Amoeba. Mommy found a vintage Polaroid camera for just $2.99! Whee!!! And dad found some fantastic tunes!


Afterwards, we meet Alice, Paul, Angela, and Nathan for dinner at Cha Cha Cha and ate wings, potatoes, plaintains, mushrooms, and more 'til we were stuffed!

Yay!!! What a wonderful day it was...
