SUNDAY I ATE

Breakfast: Grapenuts, cranberry juice, 2 strawberries

LunchPork tacos from the cafe at The Exploratorium. They are quite good… not spicy, by any means, so could be better, but I was quite happy to eat them.

Afternoon snack:  Ice cream. From the place at Ghiradelli Square. This was a nice streetcar ride from The Exploratorium, but then a bit farther a walk than I remembered. I actually love weaving through crowds on Fisherman’s Wharf, but it’s a bit trying with little ones who alternate between wanting to buy everything at every tourist shop, and wanting to just be there already. The ice cream is from Dreyers, which I would call great, but not special. Trying to get into the soda fountain I remember as a kid would have required a 45 minute wait, so we opted to hit the to-go spot… they have all the same stuff in plastic cups and it only took a minute.

Dinner:  Ceasar salad and Pyramid burger from Pyramid Alehouse. This is a great burger with bacon, bbq sauce, and onion rings. Thank god we split it.
