S.F. Farmer's Market and Ferry Building

Last Saturday we went to San Francisco with my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend, Elizabeth.  I have been wanting to go to the farmer's market and Ferry Building for a while now.  This was a great way to spend our Saturday morning.  We hopped on Bart and road it into the city.  Ava was so excited.  She loves to ride "trains".  Riding Bart was the most exciting part of Ava's day.

Personally, I was more excited about the fresh food and stores inside the building.  I have been wanting to go to the mushroom store, Far West Fungi, and check out Boccalone Salumeria owned by Chris Cosentino from the Food Network.  We were able to do both and see a whole lot more.  There was so much to see and a lot of people so it was a little overwhelming.  We bought some delicious food and have been enjoying it this past week.

Waiting for Bart on a chilly Saturday morning.  Nonna, Uncle, Ava, Elizabeth, Papa.

Ava plugged her ears while waiting for Bart because the train is "too loud" for her.

So, happy to be on Bart.

Mushroom Store

They had several wild mushroom varieties.  We tried Hedgehog, White Chanterelles, and Lion's Mane.

Ava enjoying an custard filled Bamboloni.  It was a tasty treat.

Cowgirl Creamery.  We bought some fresh, creamy, and delicious Mascarpone.  We plan to make a Mormon Tiramisu.
