Stow Lake ( San Francisco , Ca)

Good afternoon everyone, some weeks ago we took a trip to San francisco and much to our suprise you discovered a new place we somehow missed when we would go to Golden Gate Park. It was a beautiful lake called Stow lake, and right by the lake is a boat rental or paddle rental. right  away I thought to myself what a great place for a romantic date :). theres even a snack shack and of course restrooms in case you or the kids have to go. we rented a paddle boat since we were to impatient to wait for the row boat it was 5 of us altogether I held my youngest on my lap euired to wear every child was required to wear a flaoting vest.. i think thats what theyre called. My daughter and her dad paddled the boat the lake takes you around Strawberry Hill and a man made waterfall theres ducks, turtles, fish, and many other bird critters. It was such a fun and relaxing experience . also on another note if you do not feel like paddling or rowing a boat they have electrical paddle boats for a little extra charge they charged us by the hour and it took us about 40 min to get around the whole lake.below are some pictures of this wonderful experince. we also took the hike to the top of strawberry hill which is located in the middle of stowlake and is easily accesible  by crossing the small bridges.

Rainforest cafe ( San Francisco)

Hungry for food and want a fun view for you and your family? Well my favorite and my kids favorite "Rain Forest Cafe" the name says it all a restaurant,Bar,& store in the theme of a rain forest. Its filled with animatronics such as Gorillas,elephants, birds & trees. It is an exciting experience for children and adults. I personally love the food there is plenty to choose from. You pay for what you get the plates are large and even the kids menu is plenty for one or two children. My favorite is their rotisserie chicken and their poatao chips. Recently we bought our membership that includes some nice perks like 10% off the store & 10%of the bill or appetizer. They have a promotion going on for the membership here is the link so you can check it out on your own   http://www.rainforestcafe.com/safariclub.asp .  I like it because we can use it at any of their chain restaurants and coming this August will be going to the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland.

MInimalism & why it works for us

Image
My family and I are almost close to our 1 year of becoming a minimalist family (family of 5). Just as we are approaching the new year in about 5 hours, I'm sitting back reflecting on how and why I decided to take the leap into this new mindset and living. I was tiered.... that's the best way to describe it. sometimes I would sit back and think, Am I lazy? am I so disorganized that these rooms cant stay clean for more than 5 days? How and why did I buy all this stuff? Where is all my money going? I guess you can say the frustration was so overwhelming that I knew there had to be a better way But to be honest I didn't take the first step. My daughter took it for me. She wanted to earn money and I told her if she can clean her shared room up we had a deal. well she did just that she cleaned up her shared space. She bagged everything!! she bagged everything that was hers  as Donation and garbage!except her brothers stuff which she put aside for him to decide. She le

For the Cars Fans

This post is specially for all the little Cars fans. We went to visit the Disney store in San Francisco because we were told that only in that Disney store & Disneyland your child can build there own car which was  inspired by the Movie Cars 2 . I have seen something similar at Disneyland but not with any of the characters in the movie. So basically you purchase the Car and any car parts that you will like, it varies from mufflers , lights, rims, wheels etc. The  price of the car ranges since they also have remote controlled ones. Once you purchase the Car and parts you can choose to either take it home to assemble it or ( My favorite) part is that your child can assemble it in the store where they provide a little mechanics section . Below are some pictures I took inside the store.                                                          Address : 39 Stockton St                                                                        San Francisco, Ca
