Tuesday was more San Francisco. We all slept in a little that day and made it to the city for the 12:30pm tour of AT&T Park--the boys anyway. Heather and I decided we needed to help the local economy by shopping. We rode the muni to Union Square, to yes, visit shops that we have back home. I helped the local Anthropologie and Heather helped the local Nordstrom.From the pictures it looked like the boys had a great time at the stadium. Perhaps, Chris will add a bit more to the post later.
After their tour, the boys met us in Union Square and we all went to the nicest food court I've ever seen. Some of the restaurants had flat screen panel tvs displaying their menus and there was even a high-end grocery store there. We had to grab a quick bite if we wanted to make it to Muir Woods.
Muir Woods is a national park just outside of San Francisco that has great forest of redwoods. John Muir said it is the best tree-lovers monument. Our group decides to take another nature walk around the park and along the way we have some pretty memorable conversations. Doug, the consummate environmentalist, declares he wants to build a house entirely of redwood. Chris and I discuss his grouchiness. And we have an avid discussion as to whether or not the picture above is a deer or a donkey. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
The highlight of my day--no, not Anthropologie-- was going to a Filipino restaurant for dinner. I miss mom's Filipino food and unfortunately, the D.C. metro area doesn't have a Filipino restaurant for many miles. Our gracious friends indulged my craving by having dinner at Patio Filipino and meeting my newly engaged cousin Maya. We truly feasted on big portions of lechon, sinigang, adobo crispy pata, and pork sisig. I think everyone really liked it.

I say it is a deer. What was the conclusion of the grouchy discussion?
