TRAN-ventures in the City

Tay was off for an extra day this week (yay!), so we ventured into the city with the children (which we've done only 1x before.)  We asked the Lord to bless our day with good attitudes and no tantrums.  And that no matter what He allows, we all remain thankful.  This may seem a bit over dramatic, you say, but we have a child who has a very difficult time w/ transition, new places, and walking, more so than normal.

Well, isn't S.F. all about new sights, unexpecteds, and plenty of walking?  Yikes!  Well, all I can say is, "Praise the Lord!"  He defnitely knows exactly what His children need.  Tay and I had been having a  more than usual rough time w/ one of the kids, and we truly desired a day where everybody just enjoyed each other.  God blessed our "Tran-venture" with good attitudes and no tantrums FOR THE ENTIRE 4 MILES WE WALKED!!!  He really does what will glorify Him.

When we got to Pier 39, the crowd was very sparse.  Phew!  From checking out the sights there, we headed to Hyde Park, then to Ghirardelli Square and a couple of other places; stopped at Rainforect Cafe for lunch. Timmy and  Offie even got to play fight w/ Darth Vader! 

Here's our Tran-venture!

Yummy hot chocolate from Ghirardelli...and ice cream for the kids?

Tay, who shows love in many ways, but rarely in public, said to me, "honey, come here a sec"

I walk towards him, he asks for a kiss, then takes a picture of this pda reflected by an glass ornament.  VERY SWEET!  Our kids in the background are all giggling.
