History Park (Kelley Park) - San Jose, CA

History Park is a 14 acre park inside Kelley Park in San Jose. The park includes many original historic buildings such as: print shop, firehouse, trolley house, hotel, ice cream parlor & candy store, post office,  and stables.

After ice cream at O'Brien's Ice Cream Parlor and a free ride on the trolley, we visited the  Portuguese Historical Museum at the Imperio in partnership with the Portuguese Heritage Society of California. The docent, a nice lady that was the daughter of some immigrants from Portugal, gave us a personal tour.

Madame Tussauds - San Francisco, CA

After lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, we made our way to Madame Tussauds. This was our intended destination for the day anyway. We will have to come back again because we were going to eat at Rain Forest Cafe before we stopped at Pier 39. Rain Forest Cafe is right next door to Madame Tussauds, along with The San Francisco Dungeon.

Pier 39 - San Francisco, CA

We didn't exactly plan on spending time at Pier 39. By the time we found a spot in the parking garage, we were in need of a bathroom break and some lunch. We went to Hard Rock Cafe to take care of both those needs in one shot.
