Beth's Bladder

So, the weather wasn't what we had expected. Where we are in San Jose it was beautiful, hot and sunny. We did check the weather and it was going to be 10 degrees cooler. Don't know why we were all in shorts and tees! Optimistic I guess! (Hyrum is so cold he is wearing my lovely pink jumper. Goes with his complexion don't you think?)

Behind me here is Alcatraz. We were tempted to drop the kids off in one of the cells. The children weren't as excited about the bridge as Dave was. They did enjoy seeing a dolphin and a seal however. This is a famous windy road called Lombard street. It was really lots of fun and a little scary. Driving up it is so steep and when we had to stop, right at the top, Dave made a comment that freaked the kids out. "Watch out, the car just might flip over if we aren't careful! We loved it so much, we went down it twice! Tourists everywhere.

I was so excited to get some fresh seafood. The children and I got calamari and were so disappointed with it. I'm not sure if it was the batter or something they used but it just tasted disgusting. On the other hand, Dave was in heaven with his clam chowder. It was inside a big sourdough roll.



Isaac had been very bad so he just get's bread crumbs!


Don't go to Nick's fish and pasta place!

How funny is this photo?? As we were waiting in a busy line, it amused our bored and hungry children!

At the moment Savannah and Hyrum are the same height. They are gettiing many comments about if they are twins or if the 'boy' is the oldest one?? (Poor Savannah.)

Mmmmm, clam chowder.

So many fun things to see along the wharf.
