The Staycation Continues!

One of our favorite activities in The City is the Picnic in the Presidio. Now that Adeline is down to one nap it's tough to make it out there, but since we woke up in The City it was so much easier to get there!

Adeline had fun in the morning playing around in the crazy long hallway.


Will took Adeline back to Huntington Park so that I could get ready and pack up the room. In the second picture below you can see them about to cross the street!



Then we were off to the Picnic in the Presidio! We got our tent set up and got a lay of the land for food. We got a grilled cheese for Adeline but she much preferred my kale empanada!




Adeline had so much fun and was really loving up on Papa again! So sweet!





Around 12:30 we packed up and headed back to the East Bay so Adeline would sleep along the way. We took the long way home so she could get a good nap in, and as soon as we got home we changed and repacked our bags so that we could go join Penny at the Oakland Tennis Club pool where they are members. It was a hot, sunny day perfect for a dip in the pool. The girls had so much fun swimming and enjoying poolside snacks.


P.S. Don't worry she's not sunburned! Just a little flushed from the heat and tinted pink from eating strawberries! Not one speck of sunburn on this girl!!

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

Will Pitches Hawaii

Image
Will's company, Terviva, recently won a grant allowing them to get a commercial size planting of their trees in the ground. The project will take place mostly on the island of Oahu. As part of the grant program the company is invited to pitch its concept to a group of about 250 private investors from the state of Hawaii. Since Will has been working so hard on getting the project going, he was the person chosen to give the pitch! Will worked incredibly hard preparing for this event and did a great job! Will created new connections and peaked the interest of several people in the audience. Will has received great praise for his work by his colleagues and the people who are offering the grant. I'm so proud of his work! Here is a link to the video explaining what Terviva is planning to do in Hawaii. This video was submitted as part of the grant application. Video Link On stage! Nailed it!

A Day in Napa Valley

Image
Beginning with our first wedding anniversary, Will and I have spent a day visiting a winery or two.  It was my dream that someday we would take a trip to Napa or Sonoma to celebrate our anniversary; maybe for our 20th anniversary or the like. Never did I imagine that we would be spending our third wedding anniversary exploring Napa and San Francisco! We decided a short while ago that we didn't want to have to worry about either of us driving, one, because neither of us really knew where we were going, two, so that both of us could look out the windows and enjoy the scenery, and three is a no brainer, we would be tasting wine all day!  We explored some options and decided on a shuttle bus tour that would take us from SF to Napa, take us to several wineries, and end with a ferry ride on the bay back into the city. What a great choice we made! Not only did we get to lay back and enjoy the ride, we had the opportunity to meet and talk with a lot of interesting people! Saturday, Au
