Peter's Spring Break Visit: Day One!

Our nephew, Peter, is out visiting us during his Spring Break from North Carolina! He flew out Saturday morning on the early flight from RDU to SFO.

His flight arrived around 10:00, so we had a full first day in San Francisco.

The rain was coming down strong for the first few hours, but we didn't let that stop us from going out to enjoy the City.

First things first: the poor kid hadn't eaten all day, so we took him to Orphan Andy's in the Castro for late breakfast/early lunch.

We spent the afternoon walking around Union Square. For the most part, the rain had subsided by that time, with only occasional sprinkles. We walked into China Town for a couple of blocks, and also went to visit our friends at Adler & Co. Gallery.

In the late afternoon, we drove over to Japan Town, where Peter had never been before. We walked around the mall area for a bit, then brought him to one of our favorite Shabu Shabu restaurants for dinner. Peter had never had Shabu Shabu before, and was a bit intimidated by the fact that it would be his first meal using chopsticks the entire time.

He did a great job - he had to work a little harder for his food during this meal, but he did just fine in the end. :)


success!
