SF Trip!

Three whole days with my parents and my aunty from Indonesia and it took lots of patience, but it was super fun.

Day 1: Driving up to SF
It started Friday morning when they picked us up in a rented Tahoe. On the way up, We stopped by Pismo Beach to eat Indo food and to get snacks... My dad picked up baked crickets and worms for snacks. Gross..

After lunch we stopped at Hearst Castle before going to SF. The view was amazing, the weather was cool. I never thought that California had a castle! William Hearst had a variety of animals, but many were donated to a zoo. I saw a Zebra among a crowd of cows on the way up to SF, tis was a funny sight. We toured amazing grand rooms and even vintage pools. Words cannot express the grandness of the castle. 

Day 2: Touring around SF

Today was the actual day we got to tour around SF. We stopped by UCSF, we got to see the Golden Gate Bridge, and took pictures at the Exploratorium. We walked around Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf and, Ghiradellis Square. We even drove down Lombard street and shopped around Chinatown. It was a long day of exploring and trying new things. I would say, though, that the best part is probably when a seagull took my sister's churros as she watched sea lions fight. I only saw the aftermath of sugars and cinnamon flying all over her.

Day 3: Trip back home with some pit stops
One day in SF was enough for all of us. We got to see the main tourist sites and got to try the good foods up there... good food, all except for the shady Chinese restaurant. Note to self.. Shady does not always mean Legit. haha. We headed to Solvang as our last trip before going to LA for Korean bbq... but we ended up making lots of pit stops before. We stopped at a wine tasting place, we went to Ostrichland, and then finally Solvang. All entirely different places to visit, but we all took away certain things from each place. We bought bottles of wines, we got to feed the scary ostriches, and got some yummy Danish pastries.

Ended the night with my aunty's birthday celebration. My brother, Kevin, and Thomas meet up with us in LA at a korean bbq place. The turnout was great! She cried, we laughed and everyone was happy with full stomachs. Overall, this weekend was a great trip!
