On Father’s day Mara said “What do you want to do? I’m driving!” I thought it was a good day to go to North Beach with the fam. On the way there I was able to take photos of things that usually catch my eye, but can’t shoot since I’m usually driving. (like an AE86 and Ferrari) We were lucky and found parking on Powell. Darkside Initiative was our first stop. The staff here is probably one of the friendliest and knowledgeable in the City. Not to mention they have a Tier 0 account! Colin was there and we chatted for a few minutes about Lost and the dope Disney toys he has in the shop.

Feeling a bit hungry, we ventured into the crowded restaurant filled streets of North Beach. It was sunny and this meant that tons of people were out. Restaurants were packed and it was tough to maneuver the stroller around some of the people eating outdoors. There was no room for a stroller in any of the restaurants on the main strip, so we decided to go to Bocce Cafe which is a few blocks from all the madness. Not many tourists go there. I ordered a Filet Mignon and Mara had Ravioli. The food there is always good! If you go there at night, they have live jazz playing. When it was dessert time, Aiden let us know he was ready to go home, haha. We ended up getting a pint of mint chip at Baskin Robbins on the way home.
