Happy St. Patty's Day!

You all know of my Irish ancestry, and my love for celebrating St. Patrick's Day, so it will come to no surprise to you the excitement I had for celebrating our first St. Patty's Day in San Francisco! We weren't able to make it to the parade and festivities on Saturday, but we got out to some of the block parties on Sunday.

We started at The Irish Bank (an Irish pub, not actually a bank!) in the financial district of SF. We had delicious fish and chips and some Irish beverages while listening to live Irish music.





After we went through about all the sunshine we were going to get out of this ally location, we walked over to our next destination. On our way, we passed by Chinatown.


We enjoyed the rest of our afternoon listening to more live Irish music at O'Reilly's Irish Pub in North Beach.

House party at the apartment above O'Reilly's!
A gorgeous day in SF!

Apologies to our Midwestern friends and family for the cold, snowy weather you experienced. We did our best to send some sun your way! Hope you enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day!

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
