Mom's Sf Trip & Itinerary

Mom visited this past week and she was a trooper! Mom was brave enough to rent a bike and experience a little of how we commute. We biked to Alamo Square (the full house park) and soaked in the views.



A few days later at the California Academy of Science Museum I came across this pic at their new earthquake exhibit (which is awesome by the way). Alamo Square after the 1906 earthquake. Fires in the background and the fashion...crazy!


Speaking of the California Academy of Science Museum. We've had a few chances to go recently and even though I'm not a museum person, I must say they have some beautiful exhibits. 



This kinda makes me wish I was a fish:)

Our friends did the artwork for this exhibit. So good!

In honor of our upcoming 6th anniversary (more on this to come), we went to The Spinnaker in Sausalito. A restaurant my parents ate at on their 15th anniversary.  



So glad the weather was on it's best behavior for mom and what a fun and eventful week! Thanks Mom! And, if you're planning a trip to SF and want to know the play by play, here was our schedule.

  2. Thanks Linds, you are a great Tour Guide. Chris, you think the girl's creepy? I think she looks cool, like the miniature people in the children's book, The Littles.
