This day was one of the most fun adventurous days so far. We started out in the morning going to see the Oakland Temple. The kids thought it was great going on the roof, they enjoyed watching a snail as it moved along at a "Snails Pace". We then set out to find a park and were very unsuccessful in finding one the kids could run kick and play in. We gave up and went in search of Samuels pick for lunch, Mcdonalds. We finally ended up in a Wal-mart that had one inside it was very crowded so we enjoyed our food in the parking lot.
We felt horrible because our phone must not of worked in the parking lot and we missed meeting up with Steve to see the airplane he works on at the Sanfransisco airport. We headed up to see our friends in Los Altos. The kids loved going over the San Mateo Bridge. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool while we visited.
We started heading our way back to our Hotel in Oakland. When we took a spare of the moment trip out to Half moon Bay. We were glad we did. We enjoyed the scenery but more important it was relaxing getting away from the population. The views were breathtaking. Timothy soon got frustrated in search of his pick for dinner. The first destination had to be worse than a hole in the wall restaurant, even I didn't want to go inside and I am used to going inside of them from growing up. The second place was abandoned and closed down. He finally located a taco shop just off the road and Nathan took a U turn to get us there. It was well worth it, it turned out to be the best Mexican food any of us had, (except Maria's) we all agreed on that. We got to go over the Oakland Bay Bridge to get back to the hotel. We made it back to our hotel and once again crashed into bed. I need to sign off for now so I can head to the Giants game.
