Bright Lights, Big City Part III

Day 4 Sunday:
Well we hated to admit it but we were beat....we ended up sleeping in, having a leisurely breakfast, and watching Netflix marathon style until early afternoon. We were hoping that in the early afternoon we'd miss any traffic I mean it is Sunday right? How bad could it be?

Boy were we wrong! According to my gps, it took us a whole hour to go 5 miles!!

This threw off our plans a bit as we didn't end up having as much time as we would have liked.

First stop, Ocean Beach!

Ocean Beach is not very warm, and its not a tourist location so parking was free and plentiful!

Such a beautiful day for going to the beach too! After some overcast clouds it ended up clearing up and reaching a nice 72 degrees F.

After hitting the beach we went to Golden Gate Park and checked out the SF Botanical Gardens. I hate to admit it but we spent the remainder of our time their so we didn't get to see much of the Golden Gate Park, but it was well worth it.

When we just couldn't take it any longer we headed out to check out Japan Town, being told that the food there is amazing by several different locals.

Their was a Japanese Celebration going on when we arrived, we stayed and watched for a while but our stomachs were driving us on to find food.

After much debate we settled on a yummy looking Japanese Sushi restaurant. My sister is not a big fan of sushi (Or so she thinks! I'd like to change her mind about it someday.) so she settled for a delicious curry noodle dish. What was fun about the restaurant was that they served green tea instead of water. And I was able to teach my sister how to use chopsticks! **Although if you ask her, it was starve or use them. I wouldn't let her ask for a fork.**

Sushi for dinner!

Yay Chopsticks!!

After dinner we headed through the Japanese Mall area to a place called Belly Good Crepes. They make delicious stuffed crepes both sweet and savory, if you get one with ice cream they will make a little animal out of it for you!

We had a strawberry, vanilla ice cream, nutella stuffed crepe!!

What a fun trip! But we were both exhausted....and it was time to head home come Monday.
We ended up leaving during a rush hour, and since neither one of us wanted to deal with the 6 lanes of hellish traffic, we ended up taking a longer route home that showed us some beautiful country but kept us from sitting in traffic. It added an hour to the trip which we decided was at least what we would have spent sitting in one place.
