Wipeout Bar and Grill

Enjoying San Francisco’s Various Piers…….

My children’s favorite part was seeing so many birds on Alcatraz Island. Christopher’s favorite was the weather (my least favorite). It was very comfortable for him. Temp. changed drastically doing the day. You have to have your jacket just in case. You know me, I will take a bit of sun whenever I can get it. Lunch was my favorite part of the day. I was so looking forward to that clam chowder. I was NOT disappointed.

We had lunch at the Blue Mermaid Chowder House & Bar, Fisherman’s Wharf , Pier 41.

I had to try  the New England Clam Chowder. It was soooooo good. Service was fast. We ate well. Alex never fails to try out different foods. She may choose not to eat more than a bite, but she will always try it. Jordan will not!!  IMG_4981

Between lunch and dinner, we walked and walked; tasting this and that. They had so much fun. We snacked nonstop. I love that. We played on the streets.IMG_8436 IMG_8433 IMG_8435 IMG_8432 IMG_8431 IMG_8430 IMG_8437 IMG_8438 IMG_8439 IMG_8440 IMG_8441IMG_0600IMG_0599IMG_0605IMG_0606IMG_0608IMG_0610IMG_0611IMG_0603IMG_0604IMG_0612IMG_0614IMG_0618IMG_0619IMG_0621IMG_0623IMG_0626IMG_0627IMG_0632IMG_0634IMG_0635IMG_0636

We are definitely making memories. What I love about our family, we truly enjoyed being together. We walked around a bit more before heading back to the hotel to rest (not me). I stayed back to unpack somewhat while Christopher took the children to the hotel pool. It could be 30 degrees and my children would still go full force in the water.

We had dinner at the Wipeout Bar and Grill. My son only had french fries once again. Jordan is not at all adventurous when it comes to food. I’m not worried about him. I know that will change. After dinner, we walked around for about two hours, taking in the sights.  Yes, my little people were exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel.IMG_8450 IMG_8448 IMG_8446 IMG_8444 IMG_8443IMG_0654IMG_0653IMG_0661IMG_0642IMG_0641

Alcatraz Island: An Inescapable Experience

Unfortunately, we could not stay in to sleep because I had The Alcatraz Tour booked for 11 in the morning. I gave both children a break from homework today. Yeah me!!!! I have to tell you, they were very grateful for that small favor. So we headed out of the hotel room by 9 am.  We quickly figured out where we had to go. We were staying two minutes from Fisherman’s Wharf. We were withing walking distance. We then went to breakfast. From that point on, the day was a breeze. It turned out to be a wonderful day after we got over being tired. We didn’t have to rush anywhere. Jordan and Alex loved the ferry shuttle to Alcatraz Island. It was a bit cool for me , but I was okay.

 

IMG_4977 IMG_4971 IMG_4972 Jordan said that he could swim from Alcatraz Island back to Pier 31 in about 5 hours. He would have no problems. I think he could PROBABLY do it…….in a little more than 5 hours……if he doesn’t get eaten by a big shark.
