The City by the Bay

People told me San Francisco is great, and boy, were they ever right. On the way to my aunt's boutique, the Mins and I walked up Lombard Street. This stretch of the street is famous for being quite steep and crooked. There are eight sharp hairpin turns in total.

The tall column in the background is Coit Tower.

It was really nice to see my Aunt Mary. She took me out for lunch at Delarosa, and toured me around the city. My aunt insisted that we check out the Palace of Fine Arts. After a quick afternoon stroll, we drove to Golden Gate Park.

The de Young Museum looked pretty cool from the outside. I'll have to check it out the next time I'm in San Fran.

Also cool looking was the California Academy of Sciences, which has an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, and a 4-storey rainforest, all under one roof.

We went to Alcatraz early the next day.

I'm really glad we visited the Rock. The audio tour was really interesting, and the island had great views of the city.

The Mins escaping Alcatraz!!! Tee hee hee.

The clouds look ominous, but the weather was nice that morning.

No visit to San Fran is complete without a ride on the cable car!

Nor a photo opp with the Golden Gate Bridge!

Happy Holidays!

A slightly belated happy holidays to all of our Quatch Watch friends! The Quatchis and I had a great Christmas. It was filled with fun, family, and lots of good food!

On Christmas morning, the Quatchis opened their stockings. From Santa, they received red mittens and M&Ms.

Look at the Mins! Lol. What a funny little guy!

We also received a package from our dear friends at QuatchiFan2010.

Sophia made us (the Quatchis and me) matching scarfs! They're pretty awesome, eh? Thanks a bunch, Sophia! The Quatchis and I can't stop wearing them!

Name that City


Mini Q joined me on an adventure last week! We kicked off our road trip from this city. Can you guess which one it is?
