The Adventures of Lorie and Brian Groth

This year, the niece and nephew had a few new experiences while visiting in San Francisco, such as:

• Not being let out of the airport by Delta, since they were unaccompanied minors and we weren’t expecting any issues
• Eating at a very crowded La Taqueria at lunch time, which is a Mexican restaurant like they’ve never experienced
• Walking along Haight street and checking out a funky used record shop playing electro music, another that was much bigger and packed with all sorts of music, plus a few “hippie” shops with a variety of fun clothes and stuff
• Taking shoes off to have a Thai dinner
• Running around with dogs on a beach, so now they can say they’ve been to a Californian beach
• Seeing a stick bug that was attached to our house
• Seeing quite a bit of graffiti art, as opposed to regular graffiti
• Tasting odd ice cream flavors, seeing even weirder ones on the menu, and having to wait in line about 20 minutes just to get it
• Having tacos in what used to be a garage
• Playing Ticket To Ride, and having Brian and Haakon win a game
• The big Converse store in downtown San Francisco
• The rainbow crosswalks in the Castro neighborhood
• A really weird and interesting costume shop
• Cereal from Paris and London
• A big store full of board games, including a bunch of tables to sit and play games at
