Baby girl woke up nice and refreshed and ready to have fun!
Our first stop, Painted Ladies!
These are beautiful Victorian style houses painted in pretty pastel colors. They were built in the 60's.
We also walked around a bit and saw these awesome paintings along the sidewalk.
Painted Ladies were featured in Full House's opening, which made us also want to hunt down the house they used just as a facade of the TV sitcom's house. Once we found it though, we were quite disappointed because it was under construction and also had a notice to not disrupt the people actually living there. Guess the actual inhabitants were sick of all the noise from us Full House fans.
Check out the actual house! It's the one pictured on the right of the photo. I wanted to crop out all the nasty construction. Hahaha.
Well, so much for that. We wanted Zoë to sit on the steps or something, but too bad. Now off to the Palace of Fine Arts! I was googling and googling for fun places to see around San Fran and stumbled across this spot. It was originally constructed in 1915 as part of the Panama-Pacific Exhibition and was actually supposed to be demolished when the exhibit was over. But because it was loved by so many people, they kept it from being demolished and then, in the 60's it had to be rebuilt because the structure wasn't really built to last long and was crumbling to pieces. Definitely a must see if you're ever in San Fran!
It was pretty cold while we were walking around admiring the structures and they had this huge indoor stage area, which housed a cafe and some huge outdoor community games. Zoë and J hung out there for awhile to warm up since I wanted to walk around the whole structure some more. When I reached the other side of the lagoon though, I felt it was a little bit warmer with the sun directly on me. So I called them up to meet me for a photo op from the other side.
Then, on the way back Zoë wanted to go back into the stage area and play some more. That's when I got to admire this statue, which was part of the original construction back in 1906.
Zoë then dragged over to play some games! We decided on Jenga and the whole stack was way taller than Zoë. Hahaha. It was a ton of fun though and she beat me!
By the time we finished all the fun, we were all famished. Jeric found this spot Called Koja Kitchen. He ordered a Koja burger and I ordered a the short rib bowl and then we also got ourselves umami fries.
Zoë ate a bit of everything and I was surprised at how much meat she at off of my short rib bowl!
Here's the cutie after we had lunch. She wanted to snap a photo with their snowman.
Once we were all fed, it was time for dessert! Liz, Marky, Denise, Ray and John were grabbing ice cream at Bi-Rite while we were having lunch, so we headed over there right after. They were already hanging at Dolores Park when we got there. So we went ahead and ordered ourselves some ice cream!
Zoë and Dada enjoyed their ice cream sundae together. So cute!
After hanging out with everyone at the park, it started getting unbelievably cold. They all had to get ready for drinking too, so they wanted to head back to their hotel to rest up before they go out. Since we were with Zoë we decided to just head back to our hotel in San Jose. When we got back Zoë had a fun time in the bath tub. We got her bubble bath! And that was our fun day in SF! Just one more fun day left!
