Thursday morning, after sleeping in and taking our time getting ready (heaven!), we went to eat breakfast at The Buena Vista at Fisherman's Wharf. We planned this day as our touristy day. We didn't ride a cable car, but we had to get our picture on it. We also shopped for our Christmas ornaments and other souvenirs as we walked down the wharf. We decided to take a bay cruise to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Lindsey and I popped some Dramamine in hopes that we wouldn't get motion sickness. After the tour, we went to Pier 39 for lunch. I loved the crab chowder in the bread bowl!

Up next, was walking to Ghirardelli Square, and we couldn't go there without getting dessert. To say we were stuffed would be an understatement! Why go on vacation if you don't eat though?! We decided to head back to the house to rest.

It was around 5:00 by this time, and none of us were hungry for the nice dinner we had planned. Poor Lindsey got sick, and we couldn't make a decision on what to do next. We tried to get tickets to a movie, but it was sold out. Around 8:00 we decided to walk a couple of blocks to Japantown to get some chinese food. None of the places looked familiar or even had menus in English, so we went with the safe chain, Benihana's. After a long wait, then being told to sit in the bar area, and then not being waited on, we were just going to leave. A sweet hostess offered to at least get us some white rice and water before we left. It still makes me laugh that we got a free dinner of rice and water in San Fran! Oh well, it actually hit the spot and we went back home to go to bed.
