Before I get to the photos, I'll mention some highlights. We really enjoyed some restaurants that friends recommended, including Zarzuela in Russian Hill, Cafe Troya in Richmond, and R and G Lounge in Chinatown. Zarzuela was a Spanish tapas, Cafe Troya was Turkish, and R and G Lounge was Cantonese. For us the most memorable was Cafe Troya since we haven't found any Turkish restaurants here in LA, it was our first time in years eating Turkish cuisine. We also visited Just Awesome near West Portal to buy board games. That store is really remarkable, I've never seen anything like it. They sell board games, and they have tables set up where you can try before you buy. The staff are also extraordinarily helpful and knowledgeable.
Since it was a family trip, I didn't have much time by myself to take pictures. The main exception was the evening of the 4th, when my wife and I went down to Fisherman's Wharf by bus and then walked over to the Maritime Park, or Aquatic Park, or whatever it is called. Of course, I had the camera along. The whole gallery is here:

There was a musical performance before the fireworks show...
And of course, some fireworks...
