We all really enjoyed spending time with Kim’s mom in San Fran. The kids were loving it! Saturday was a huge day which went like this:
1) Met Nana at the airport, complete with signs the kids made.
2) Farmers Market near Fisherman’s Wharf.
3) Shopping/Lunch in Chinatown.
4) Trolly Ride and visit to Fisherman’s Wharf.
5) Junior Ranger program and tour of the Maritime Museum.
6) Papa Murphy’s Pizza for dinner. We had planned to cook Salmon and Clams, but got home too late.
She was coming in on Southwest.
There she is!
We love you Nana!

Nana’s #1 request… City Market!
Buying honey stix!
Nice produce… never saw purple bell peppers back home?
Sampling some pastries.
Vegan Donuts!?
Shrooms, so we could explain to Nana some of our hunting conquests.
Shanties! You gotta try them.
Walking to Chinatown, hand-in-hand.
Never mind that Kim made us walk an extra mile, to enter Chinatown via this gate.
You’re not in Hannibal anymore, Nana!
Looking for Lunch, in all the wrong places.
4 stars on Yelp, and close, it’ll do. Capital Restaurant
The place was pretty busy, so good sign.
Known for wings, and they were the highlight. This Bass might be a good choice!
Cool market with dried seafood.
Riding the trolly.
First trolly experience.

Nice day, winding down.
Kids love to have Nana read to them.
Sunday, the kids made breakfast (pancakes and eggs). Scott watched the Chiefs game, then we all went downtown to Ghirardelli Square. We cooked Salmon (Kane caught in Alaska), and Fried Clams (We dug them on Oregon Coast) for dinner.
Old Ghirardelli buildings nicely rehabbed.
Chillin, waiting for ice cream.
A $2 cone and a $6 shake. Kane chipped in the extra 4 bucks.
Kids made breakfast!
Fried Razor Clams… battered in saltine cracker crumbs.
Monday, Scott hung out at home, and Kim, Nana and our kids went to visit the Jelly Belly factory. Much needed time for me to update the blog, and the kids loved the factory. Kane and Kim decided that Dog Food Jellybean does taste like Dog Food! After dinner that night, we had a tasty treat… Nana’s homemade Cherry Pie!
Jelly Belly Factory… amazing these things are made here, when the company started in the Midwest?
Uh oh… the gift shop! Kane bought a “jelly bean machine”. (gumball machine for jelly bellies.
Ready for some samples.
Loving it!
Kat brought money in her new purse (Nana bought it for her at the wharf).
Every Flavor beans for tricking somebody… me!
Nana brought her own cherries from home to make this bad-boy.
