photo friday: exploratorium
The girls (or was it only Camille??) and I visited the Exploratorium decades ago. It was the most amazing place — hands on, interesting, encouraged the kids to explore the world and learn how to make connections. While we did not visit on our latest trip to SF, I have high hopes that its new

Always a fun place to stop and have a bite to eat or grab a cup of coffee!

Beach. The beach. Any beach. It has been far too long. I wish I lived as close to the beach as my sister does!!

Just a short walk from my sister’s place is China Beach. I love walking down there and dipping my feet in the Pacific and marveling that she gets to live in such a beautiful place!

Last San Francisco Photo Friday, I promise! It’s been almost two months since the trip, so time to finish up and move onto our trip to NYC and our summer camping adventures. I had no clue how to get to the top of Telegraph Hill in order to visit Coit Tower – a place I
photo friday: flora and fauna of san francisco
On our trip to San Francisco, we encountered flowers and animals everywhere we went. From the seagull that took a bite of Chloe’s ice cream cone down by the piers to the bison that live in Golden Gate Park to the ducklings on Alcatraz, it was one adventure after another!
photo friday: transportation in San Francisco
Transportation Vacation! Apart from getting to San Francisco via MARTA, plane trane, plane (complete with exciting landing) and SuperShuttle, we managed to find a number of ways to get around San Francisco. Bus, ferry, tram, cable car and BART, too! This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday.

While we were in San Francisco last month for spring break, we hit us the “Music Concourse” at Golden Gate Park. While my parents and Camille went to the de Young Art Museum, Chloe and I went to the California Academy of Sciences across the street. Chloe is a scientist. Chloe is a naturalist. She

We could spend days exploring this amazing park! From Koret Children’s Quarter playground, to the museums, the deYong and the California Academy of Sciences and thenonto all the hidden gardens, I loved being there. Lunch at the Park Chalet was relaxing and delicious. A stroll by the windmills and the bison ended at Sprekles Lake

The ONE thing the girls insisted on wanting to do while we were in San Francisco last month? Go to Alcatraz! They’ve both been before, but back when they were far to young to remember going. This trip, they’ll remember. Both enjoyed it for very different reasons. Camille loved the history. Chloe loved the natural

While in San Francisco, we stayed at my sister’s place for much of the time, and took advantage of her close proximity to the beach! Too cold for swimming, but never too cold to walk near the water and gaze out at the long horizon… I sure do wish I lied closer to the ocean!
photo friday: rooftop view of san francisco
we spent half of our week in San Francisco at my sister’s lovely apartment. Not only is the inside a comfortable place, the rooftop offers some spectacular views of San Francisco! I should have headed up there every morning, evening and night!! This is an entry for Delicious Babyโs Photo Friday.
Spring Break Day 9: Cable Car Ride and Flight Home
The girls and I woke early and showered and packed. Around 8, we headed out to walk up to the cable car turnaround. When we got there, the line was minimal, but by the time a cable car arrived, the line had grown quite long. When the cable car arrived, we jumped on. The girls
san francisco – apr 2013
The girls and I spent a lovely week in San Francisco. We spent most of the week at Susannah and Louis’s apartment with my parents, then a couple nights in a downtown hotel with Rob. We met up with friends and saw lots of the sights! summary posts: Spring Break Day 3: The Crazy Skies
Spring Break Day 8: Yerba Buena, Cherry Blossoms, Telegraph Hill
I woke early and worked on a few things, then the girls and I joined Rob for the meeting breakfast. It wasn’t very good. We then hung out in the hotel room for a while before walking over to Yerba Buena Gardens, where we explored and then Chloe played on the playground for quite a
Spring Break Day 7: Playground and Museums
After a slow morning of breakfast, picking up, reading and playing video games, we headed out to catch the bus for the big children’s playground at Golden Gate Park. Both girls ran around the playground for a long time, then we walked over to the museums. Chloe and I went to the California Academy of
Spring Break Day 6: Golden Gate Park
After a quiet morning of breakfast and picking up, we headed out to the playground. It was a chillier day, but the sky was still quite clear and blue. From the playground, we walked up and up and up and then down to the Lands’ End Lookout and then along the beach. There were so
Spring Break Day 5: Alcatraz
After an early morning of sunrise, fruit, coffee and yogurt, we headed back up the hill to the Legion of Honor. THough we didn’t go in, we did explore the sculpture garden and the courtyard. We walked back down the other side and ended up at the playground, which thrilled Chloe. Back at the apartment,
Spring Break Day 4: Coastal Trail
I was up before 5am, taking care of a number of things including making coffee. I managed to get the girls up and ready for the day, then we walked down the street to the Coastal Trail. What a view — and what a hill to climb! At last, we made it up and over!
