San Francisco

It was a beautiful day today and we went to San Francisco. We had a really nice time and got home late. The kids fell asleep in the car on the way home.

We started out at the Exploratorium, which has all kinds of really cool interactive science exhibits. Most of them are related to some aspect of physics. In the one at left, the silver disc spins continually and then you can try to roll the other wheels across it to see whether you can get them to stay on the rolling wheel. Fun.




Next we went to Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, where we saw the Chinese Pavilion.








Owen enjoyed a little tree climbing.









Dan and Owen rented a paddle boat and rowed all the way around the lake.






We ended up in North Beach, the Little Italy of San Francisco, for an old fashioned Italian meal. At least some of the spaghetti remained on Douglas's plate.
