Field Trip Photo Activity Exercise

I've been there a couple times before, but it was a lot of fun getting to play the machines with someone else. We, of course, had to try out the two bowling ones they had.
See through
I nearly lost my arm trying to arm wrestle a machine. There were supposedly different levels and I chose the intermediate one first, but couldn't bug the darn thing, so I picked the easiest one next and it felt exactly the same! All our time spent on Mario Kart paid off when we raced on Cruisin' USA. Jane won on our first try (you get a free game if you come in first), I won the second, but we lost the third, where we raced in Hong Kong.
Then we headed off to the Pier 39 for clam chowder and walked around for a bit. Watched some boys breakdance on our way there. As I know Jane hasn't been doing her exercises on Wii Fit, I made sure she got a good workout by taking her to Coit Tower. She had never been there before either and the sun was finally out again, so up the hill and stairs we went. I was getting a good workout, too, but it wasn't as bad as the last time I went.
Circle: One of the three basic shapes
Afterwards, we took the F-line down to the Ferry Building, grabbed some gelato (yum!), and made our way downtown. It was in the bathroom of Nordstrom where we decided that I should try and do the rest of the recent photo activity she gave us. Haha. People were probably wondering why the heck we were taking pictures of the mirror in there, but hey, it made for a cool reflection. So around the mall we went looking for the other items.
Reflection and shiny/sparkly
The thing we found frustrating was not being able to capture things as we see them, especially with things that sparkled or shined. What surprised us was how hard it was to find something with texture. We were so determined that we even went up and down Macy's looking and before we knew it, it was a quarter before 6, so we had to call it a day (I was quite tired anyway), meaning that I had to finish this up at home.
