JJ's first trip to San Francisco

Stayed at the Hilton in Union Sq. Went down to Fisherman's Wharf and played classic video games (like back in the 70's and 80's) at the game museum. Brought back memories. Some games go way back so I didn't even know. Like a helicopter game. Had a great time playing with JJ. Even Noriko tried some games! Then visited the submarine USS Papanito. JJ was scared at first and wanted to get out but learnt to like it when he saw the rec area with a chess board on one of the tables. He signed his name on the log and wrote "awesome"! He was quite impressed with the little vessel and seemed to have a good time. Had lunch @ Pier 39. Quite a lot to do but had to head back for Noriko's had to go to ballet (Don Quixote) at 7. JJ and I had dinner @ Dojima An just down the street on OFarrell. Ma ma. service was quite poor. Taste was ok. Lots of bones in my unagi tororo don. JJ was a little down so I asked him why. He said he'd have liked to go with mummy to the ballet ( he didn't realise it's a bloody long one!) and he was missing mummy. After a while, he's ok. He saw Giselle on Utube with mummy and seemed to like the story so he thought he could enjoy any ballet. Probably not! Noriko's looking forward to taking him to see Giselle. Hope he can sit through the whole thing.
