San Francisco's Financial District & Point Lobos

...adventure on one tank of gas...

    Every so often the kids and I go out, looking for some adventure. We haven't got a lot of money, so we stick to some simple rules. First, we go only as far as a tank of gas can take us. Second, we have a cheap lunch, but some where we haven't eaten. Finally, we stop where ever it looks like it's a good place to explore. 

   This time we landed ourselves in the financial district of San Francisco. It's an odd feeling being in the city with buildings so tall, they block out the sunlight. It's easy to feel small.

 We started strolling through the city. I felt really self conscious taking pics. People look annoyed when you're snapping away. I did manage a few though...and yeah it involves FOOD! 

There's Josh ordering up some Onigiri, or rice balls. A perfect food for consuming on a walk. The sidewalk was pretty busy and the shop teeny tiny....so my pics are lacking. However, here's a link for those of you interested in Onigilly

These are Beef Teriyaki flavored. :) 

Right next door was a place called Plentea. So, I'm not going lie. Their gimmick makes their product look even more enticing. They serve bubble tea's and coffee's. The gimmick...it comes in a tall glass milk jar container. It just looks SO refreshing. ...but then you drink it, and then you know, it was worth it. Click the link on their name to see more pics/info. Here's my only picture. Josh looks totally happy to try his drink! He and I got Coffee Milk Tea. Josh has his with Mochi bubbles.

Jeryn & Jonah got Nutella Milk Tea.

Two thumbs up for the big city.

...next up...Point Lobos and the Sutro Baths...

From here we saw whales, but I don't have a proper camera to get pictures of them. However, I did get some fun pics all over this park. 

Here's Jeryn & Jonah standing on the Sutro Baths. Check out the link above. The history behind the baths are pretty interesting.

Here's a look from the cliff above...

My weirdlings in a cave...

A brave dude at the edge...

...but this pic sorta sums us up...feel's like we're the "Thrill Society." (Even though our thrills are pretty tame!)
