Buca Di Beppo

Everyone loved tonight's dinner.  It's got lots of carb... so I don't recommend having it often :)

Penne Basilica

Spagetti with meatball

Chicken Marsala

Broccoli side dish

Yum!

Michael LaFosse's butterfly

I learned how to fold Michael LaFosse's butterfly this past weekend at our folding group. Here is the picture!

Dynasty and JCC

Timothy, Kaizad and Lawrence have known each other since Kindergarden.  We planned a get together on Saturday.  First we meet at Dynasty for dim sum...

I didn't take much picture of the food since I was busy talking... but I did manage to take a picture of the small order of chicken porridge.

and Timothy eating chicken feet for the first time :)

After dim sum, we headed to JCC in Palo Alto. The place is huge! June just recently join the facility and was able to give us guest passes to check out the place.
The boys went swimming at outdoor pool.

And indoor pool..

Then we went upstairs to play some TT = table tennis.

It was a fun day!

Shinbala Cafe

I am sad to see that a local business has closed due to lease disagreement... I know how difficult it is to have a business, work so hard, and to have your rent increase.  Today is Shinbala's last day... this means no more stinky tofu, no more sausage fried rice, shinbala style :(
I have some pictures to show the dishes I brought today.
shredded pork and egge rice

Stinky tofu

Sausage rice

Chicken rice

Then I had a plum from Jason's friend's tree :)

Stow lake and Paulette macarons

Since the weather was really nice we decided to take Charlie to Golden Gate Park!

After we park, we walked to stow lake.

Us infront of the lake....

We saw whole bunch of pigeons next to us!

Then they all fly away!

We walked around the lake and saw this waterfall

Timothy decided to climb to the middle... I think he is like despereaus :)

Then we got to the pagoda

And head back..

Timothy got very hungary so we headed to check out Paulette macarons.. I heard so much good things about the place I had to check them out!

The macarons looks amazing!

I ordered 12 different flavors!

We stopped by a park nearby with a cool scupture.

Everyone had a macaron.. it was so delicious!

The neighborhood on Hayes street seems interesting! We say bye to San Francisco and I'm sure we will be back to visit soon :)
