Every year for my Mom's birthday we take a family short. We find destination that is not too far away and we go for the night! Over that last few years we have learned a few things:
1. The boys DO NOT like to shop.
2. Everyone in the same car is VERY BAD idea.
3. Keith should not be in charge of the directions.
4. And... my mom does NOT like to relax...she like to do 'THINGS'.
This year Dorothy had the bright idea to go to San Francisco as tourists. We booked our rooms, booked our city lights tour in our vintage car and scoped out some yummy places to eat.
Unfortunately, it rained and rained and rained. Our hotel was right on Fisherman's wharf for the sole purpose of being able to walk to all the fun stuff the shore had in store. So, this turned into running in the rain to our destination. When we arrived at our tour they had rescheduled for the next day, as it was raining to hard to see all the sights. The tour guide kindly offered to drive us to a GREAT Italian restaurant that he LOVES! It was a quaint little hole in wall that was, of course, full because it sat like 10 people. But, we assumed it was because it was worth the wait. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place sucked! The whole group was so disappointed we vowed to speak of it again ( not really, I just added that for dramatic value). But really NEVER eat at La Osteria del Forno= GROSS.
We went on our freezing cold tour the next day, ate clam chowder and had a super fun time!
Another successful Family Short!
