Hop on the Bus Gus

This weekend we got together with the Conrad family to celebrate all four of the kids birthdays. We decided to do it this way since we wanted them to spend quality time together. We went to the Exploratorium and then spent $100.00 at the Rain Forest Cafe. All this money spent and time planning... and guess what they most enjoyed? The turtles at the lake (free)! Running around Ghiradelli square (free). The men on the sidewalks, representing their many talents, such as hiding behind a make shift bush and then scaring people as they walked past, painting themselves with silver paint, and strumming on their guitars, singing..... My name is Marvin and I'm Starvin. Did I mention? Free! OH Yes! And the infamous $7.00 Muni bus ride. In which all four kids sat in the back seat..lets rephrase... sitting on their knees, facing the cars behind the bus, making faces at the passerbys. They were everyone's entertainment. All the kids belly laughed the entire bus ride, until Gianna flew off her seat backwards and hit her head..... kind of put a damper on the ride. So, when ever you see those Mastercard commercials, they are not true- you don't have to spend a lot of money to have priceless moments.... just hop on the bus, Gus.
