Ferry Building Marketplace - San Francisco

Lunch on our last day in San Francisco...


On our last full day in The City, we decided to head down to the Ferry Building Marketplace, which, if you've not been to San Francisco in a loooooong time, is the upscale foodie restoration of the Ferry Building that began back in the late 90s.

And it really is a nice little collection of food shops, specialty purveyors, and restaurants, albeit a little spendy, and well worth your while if you've never been, specially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays when they have the farmers market going on outside as well. (Tuesdays and Thursdays are mini FM, Saturday the full one.)

The monsters each got $25 to spend as they liked at the marketplace, and Mads spent her first three bucks to buy Joey a bottle of this Original brand ginger ale that he discovered the other night when we went to dinner at Heaven's Dog, another $5 for gelato at Ciao Bella. Joey spent some money on white Balsamic and olive oil with which he plans to cook dinner for us when we get back home this weekend. 

Then we met up with my girlfriend Gen and her adorable baby Dio for some lunch, and since Mother Nature smiled on us today, we dined al fresco, with everyone picking and choosing what they wanted from the farmers market food stands.

And +Dean Robinson and I, while big fans of the Bay Area municipal transportation system, are really glad we opted to drive down to the Ferry Building on our last day here to minimize Grandpa related grumpiness and/or complications. :P

We were going to try to make it to the giant rock slide in Golden Gate park with the kiddos, but we're planning to meet up with some friends for dinner (our only chance to sneak away just the two of us during the entire trip), and we know better than to wipe ourselves out before then.


Full album of more goodies to be found at the Ferry Building Marketplace! :)

Now to sit back and chill on this comfy bed for a while.
