Two perspectives on our vacation

We visited Solomon and his family in California for five days - leaving Michigan for a part of February is a necessity. We all had a great time, but the boys experienced things a little differently than Chris and I.

Mom and Dad: Wow, the Golden Gate Bridge! How beautiful as the mist rolls over the far end!
Jonathan and Alex: Look, pigeons!

Mom and Dad: What an amazing view from the Coit Tower. Look, there's the Transamerica Pyramid.
Jonathan and Alex: How come there's pennies in the window well?

Mom and Dad: Check out the historic boats on Fisherman's Wharf!
Jonathan and Alex: Can we have a cupcake? Look, seagulls!

Mom and Dad: Mmmm, a chance for real Vietnamese pho.
Alex: Want noodles!
Jonathan: I want to try the salty plum soda! I PROMISE I'll drink it all! Please? Pleeeeeease?

Yuck!

Mom and Dad: Oh, Afghan food, how wonderful, we've missed it so.
Jonathan and Alex: Bread and rice! Yummy!

Mom: Cannery Row! Here's the site of Lee Chong's store, and the Palace Flophouse, and. . .
Dad: $25 per person to look at some fish?!?!
Jonathan and Alex: Look, pigeons!

However, we all had the same reaction driving up and then down Lombard Street:
WheeeeeeeeeeOhMyGoshIdon'tthinkwe'regoingtomakeitupWHEEEEEEEEE!
