2012/08/18 Visiting San Francisco with my Dad and Patricia

It had been a while (almost 15 years?) since I had been to the aquarium on Pier39, but I remembered it was pretty nice and obviously conveniently located, so I suggested we went there. It was a nice visit

After that, we went to visit the rest of Pier39 shops:

We then went for a small cruise around the bay to the golden gate and around Alcatraz


I just learned that James Lick (the rich guy who donated money that built the Mt Hamilton Lick observatory) told his friend Ghirardelli he should come to San Francisco to sell chocolate. I guess that worked out :)

2012/08/15 Quick Visit From my Dad and Patricia
π 2012-08-15 01:01 in Family
My dad came over for a few days to visit. Saturday we went to San Francisco, and Sunday we went for a tour of Google, and my dad wanted to try our nearby minigolf after the pictures I posted some time past, so we did.

Not that I'm supposed to be good at golfing since I don't golf, but I won again ;)
