Nate and Emily Visit - Day 2

We were up nice and early today, ready to see some sights! We took Emily and Nate up to panoramic hill to see the spectacular view of the bay.



Hangin' out on the tree.

From there we drove in to the city. We spent most of the day in the Marina. We met Nate's cousin for lunch and one of Emily's friends was able to join us too!


After lunch we headed down to Haye's Valley to enjoy the beautiful afternoon at the beer garden there. We soaked up the sun and then it was time to see more sights!

We saw the Golden Gate from Marina Green, but we wanted to show Emily and Nate Ocean Beach. We walked up and down the beach a ways and near the Sutro Baths. We also stopped at the trailhead of Land's End to see the Golden Gate from a different vantage point.

I love Ocean Beach. It's so beautiful! Don't mind the crazy hair; it's always so windy there!


For the evening we went back to the East Bay to see a concert at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. The Greek Theater is an Greek-style outdoor amphitheater on the UC Berkeley Campus. We sat in a really steep grassy area so I felt like I was going to slip right down the hill, but it was still a beautifully unique venue for a concert!

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!

Image
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:
