Adventure’s in San Francisco with Leland and Daddy

Hello Maddy,

Well this weekend Leland and I decided to go to San Francisco for an adventure. It turned out to be quite an adventure as you will see. We drove in my shiny red car to the BART station in South San Francisco where we jumped onto a train to the city.

When we got to the downtown area we looked for a Starbucks to have a coffee. Turns out there are Starbucks on every corner. Inside as I got in line to order a coffee, Leland played with his Nintendo DS. Yes, it’s just like the one you have. When he heard that I had bought a Nintendo DS for you, well you know Leland he had to get one too. He even used his own money that he gets from his job at Arby’s. He was jealous and also bought a Super Mario Bros just like you’re too.

Having walked a bit of a distance we found the tunnel that leads to Chinatown. Leland was already complaining about starving, so I told him we would get some Chinese food.

Inside Chinatown just about every other place is a Chinese food place. I had no idea where to eat. I figured there were two choices one would be great Chinese food or something that would make us sick to our stomachs. After a while of walking and Leland complaining we stumbled into a Chinese lady touting the greatness of the food just inside and up the stair to the restaurant. I decided to take a chance.

The food was great. These Chinese people would roll up a cart of food and we could choose from many different dishes. Taking care to control the amount of food as to not over eat and bust my budget. We did well just fine.

Leaving the restaurant I found this statue of some monkeys sitting on a bench. Well I had to take some pictures.

From Chinatown we jumped onto a bus and headed to Golden Gate Park. It was fun there. There lot s of statues to take pictures with. There were these two guys looking up and lion with a human head.

At the park we wanted to go to the Japanese Tea Gardens. When we arrived I had no cash on me only my credit cards. I remembered that the last hour you could get in free. So we waited and at 4 o’clock the doors open for all those cheapskates like Leland and I to enjoy the last hour. You bet I got my money’s worth. I shoot a ton of pictures. It’s really silly because the best times to take pictures are early in the morning and late in the afternoon.

Inside Leland and I shoot some crazy pictures. Here you can see me jumping in the air in front of a Pagoda.

I took some more pictures of the lions with human head. Leland made his way into one of them. Good job Leland.

We jumped onto a bus once again and once again Leland was complaining about the pain in his stomach as if he were dying from lack of food. I told him to chill out we’ll get some food later. Later turned into later and later.
