San Francisco - Part 4

While in San Francisco, I never really adjusted to the time difference. That could have been because I'm typically a morning person anyway, or because I was getting up to pump, or maybe I just wanted to drive Jason a little crazy...whatever the reason, on our second morning in the city, I was bright eyed and bushy tailed at 5:45. Somehow, I managed to talk Jason into exploring the city on a bit of a photography walkabout:)  

I had NO idea how HILLY San Francisco really is!!! It's insane. Seriously.

This was the start of our walk. Straight up from our hotel.

Parking like this CANNOT be good for vehicles.


The Fairmont - the hotel from The Rock!

This was our first cable car sighting!

 On the left: I think this is the steepest one we saw. Check out that portion at the top of the pic!
On the right: You know a hill is too steep when you have to put stairs into the sidewalk. Just saying...


We wandered through the hills and found our way to the famous Lombard Street:



On the way down Lombard St, there was this house with a garden FULL of parrots. They were so loud! It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen.



After our walking tour, we headed back to the hotel to grab breakfast and get changed for the day. More on that tomorrow.

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
