Since it was my dad's last weekend here, we decided to spend the day in San Francisco. We weren't sure what we would do so Erdy drove around for a bit. Whenever we go to SF, Erdy drives around the steep hills and gives the kids a thrill ride. So this day was no different. The kids were pretending to be on a roller coaster as Erdy drove down the hills. But this time, it was a bit more exciting...There was a car going uphill but he had to stop since there were two cars ahead of him. So his car was rolling and all of a sudden, his car kept going down this long steep hill. We assumed he was driving a stick shift. He kept going downhill and it appeared that he couldn't stop. Erdy and I were yelling "pull up your hand break!" He kept going down the hill and we were sure he would get runned over by other cars at the intersection, not expecting him to be there. By the grace of God, there were no cars at the intersection. We quickly drove up to him and asked him if he needed help. We pulled over to help him and luckily his car started again. Needless to say, we didn't go down anymore hills.
After wondering around, we ended up watching the Blue Angels. They were awesome! The kids enjoyed themselves but Noah got scared when they came too close. San Franscisco was packed with people. There were cars everywhere. I saw one man take his toddler out of his car seat and had him stand up and stick his head out from his moon roof to watch the blue angels while driving around. One wrong mistake, that toddler would have flown out! I saw another driver looking back, trying to watch the Blue Angels and take pictures as he was driving! I thought for sure, he'd rear end another car.
We ended the day in downtown Sf. I did a little shopping while Erdy played with the kids in Union Square. We had dinner at our favorite Japanese spot in Sunnyvale and the kids were pooped by the time we came home!
