American Dinner Party!

Image
Hello everyone! Tom and I are officially settled back into UK life! To celebrate our return we held a dinner party for both of our families. We decided on a menu that would give everyone a taste of the USA! We chose typically American dishes and made everything in miniature! Here is the menu! Appetizers: Chips n dips Entrées: Deep dish pizzas Hot Dogs Soft Tacos Burgers Philly Cheesesteaks Served with salad and fries! Desserts: Strawberry cheesecake Blueberry pancakes Brownies It was a super fun night, we all ate far too much, which is always good!! We also gave our families the gifts we had brought back with us which was lovely. :) Here are a few photos of what we made (though not everything, as my camera died halfway through the evening!)

Last day in the USA!!!!

Today we were up pretty early as we had a lot to fit in!! The first thing we did after leaving the hotel was get a streetcar to the place where our tour was leaving, which was really cool!! We then boarded the open air tour bus which took us through a bit of San Francisco and over Golden Gate Bridge! Typically, the top part of the bridge was in the fog, but it actually made the pictures look pretty cool! It was really amazing to see it, it's such a cool piece of engineering!!  The bus then dropped us back in Fishermans Wharf where we then got lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp, which was right at the end of Pier 39 and had lovely views over the Pacific!

Today started early for me as I woke up at 4:30am feeling like it was midday, I'm not great at adjusting to different time zones! I dozed in bed til about 8:00am and then Tom woke up and we started planning our day!  We decided to go to the American Museum of Natural History, so we set off immediately, having decided that the hotel breakfast wasn't for us. Wrong choice. By the time we got into Manhattan we were starving! We got off the metro at Central Park and we couldn't find anywhere to get food, not a Starbucks in sight!! Heartbreaking. Stomachs rumbling we headed straight to the museum in hopes there would be a cafe there. We bought our tickets and quickly located the food court for brunch. Then it was time to explore the museum! We bought a general ticket that also included all the special exhibitions which were amazing! Our favourite was the Dark Universe exhibition which was a short documentary in the planetarium dome. It was pretty sciencey and really made me think...
