Shopping, shopping....and more shopping!

San Francisco Day 2.

What a tired bunch we were!  We went to bed at 8pm and crashed.  We didn't wake up until 9.30 this morning.  We all woke feeling so much better than last night.  The girls have adapted really well to the change.

Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day, about 15 degrees...not too bad for Winter.  However, this morning we woke to rain.  Apparently there was supposed to have been a storm overnight, but we certainly didn't hear anything.  We headed out for breakfast to Pat's Cafe (recommended on Trip Advisor).  It was only a 2 minute walk away.


Pat's Cafe

 

Pat herself was there and was lovely.  We all decided on pancakes...yum.

Lauren pouring maple syrup on her blueberry pancakes...she only managed to eat one.

 

Thankfully their coffee was SOOO much better than Starbucks, although my Mocha did come with whipped cream on the top...must remember to ask for it without that next time.

Then we walked a block down to Ross Dress for Less.  Here's where our shopping spree began (photo of all our goodies coming soon).  We also had a look at The World Market which was next door.  I could have bought lots for craft at school, but I managed to stop myself.  We did find some sauces that my brother Brayden would have loved....

What do you think, Brayden?

 

 Lauren was also impressed by the super sized popcorn and gumballs.

We headed back to our room, dumped our bags of goodies and decided to drive into Union Square to visit Santa at Macy's.  Bry did really well this time and managed to stay on the right side of the road (he did drive through a red light though...we'll see if we get a red-light ticket).

Union Square was as busy as we expected, but we managed to find a park in the carpark quite quickly. 
Macy's exterior was gorgeous.

First stop...Santa!

He was a lovely Santa too.  We had a good look around Macy's and then Bry saw that Macy's menswear was a whole separate store...so we had to go and look at that too.

Poor girls were over it a bit by now......

However, the next stop was The Disney Store so they certainly woke up then.  They're even more excited about Disneyland now. 

Old Navy was our next stop and we shopped up another storm here.  By this time it was 5.30 and dark and we were hungry (we hadn't eaten since our pancakes) so we headed back towards the car.  We had to stop for some pics on the way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We also stopped in at the Ferrari shop.

 

 

 

 

How's this for an impressive days shopping............................................................................

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not a bad effort for one day.  And all for around $200US.  Scary thing is that Mum's buys aren't included here.

 

We decided to head down to Chipotle for dinner again.  They were so pleased to see us again that they gave us a free kids meal.

 

 

Then we headed to a sweet shop "It's Sugar".  Yet again, more super sizing.

 

 

 

 

 

We headed back to the hotel, via a Safeway Supermarket.   All about to head to bed soon. xx
