Well, we spent the day in good ol' SF with the kids trying to find SOMETHING to do to keep us happy. Here is what we came up with:
Pier 39- Fun but incredibly changed since the last time we had both been there. It used to be more shops sprinkled with just a few restaurants. Instead, it was more restaurants sprinkled with shops AND the shops that were there pretty much carried the same thing as the next. So, to me it was rather boring.
Aquarium- In an effort to wake us from the boredom we went to the aquarium. Of course, once you have gone to the Monterey Aquarium everything pales a bit in comparison. There was one truly cool area that allowed us to touch bat rays, skates (they resemble rays), and even my personal favorite leopard sharks. The kids had a blast touching the rays which were rather slimy, but were surprised to find how rough the leopard shark's skin felt. It brought me back to my childhood when I played with the baby sharks. That was probably our favorite.
Snack Time- We did stop for a snack. The kids ate their corn dog and nachos while I settled into the giant pretzel. Don opted for the more traditional clam chowder in a sourdough bowl
