Park Day!

It was a beautiful morning so we headed over to the park. The rain is on the way so it might be the last visit for a little while. Also, Adeline picked out her own outfit this morning and is clearly all about the "kitty" theme.

Mountain Biking through the Redwoods

Image
Will has been yearning to go Mountain biking since the day before we knew we were even moving to California - ha! When we got out here we knew we needed to upgrade my bike, so I got a brand spanking new one on sale at REI back in July. I'd used it several times just around the city, but it was time to go test it out on some trails! We ventured off to Redwood Regional Park which is a whopping 15 minute drive from our apartment, right here in Oakland. We are so lucky to have such diversity in landscape just a short distance from us! When we got there we started off with a picnic lunch in the Redwood Bowl, which is a big opening in the middle of the park. It was an extremely foggy morning. It was 12:15 already and still this foggy! It made for a really cool atmosphere though, it felt like a rainforest inside. Then we were off on our bike ride. It is about a nine mile loop around the park and we did the whole loop. The technicality level of trail is intermediate for biking, and...

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 ...

A Wedding Weekend in Philly!

Image
Surely you've heard me talk about our new dear friends Katie and Alex that we met here in our apartment building (they moved to Cali from New York around the same time we did!). Well, this past weekend they got MARRIED!! We were honored to be invited to their intimate party with a guest list of just 60 of their closest friends and family and had been looking forward to this weekend almost as much as the bride and groom! Thursday, July 4t h   Our journey began Thursday morning as we flew out of Oakland, through Denver, and then off to Philly. Of course we had to start our trip with some bloody marys at the airport! We arrived in Philadelphia around 8:30pm and checked in to our beautiful room at the Hotel Monaco. Thanks to my hotel room picture obsession, you can see what it looked like! Pretty swanky, huh? Looking at the hotel restaurant's menu. We were starving, so we headed down to the hotel restaurant for dinner, and two complimentary glasse...
