A Day at the Bay

Ok. Obviously I'm way behind with this post.  But so many great pictures just can't go unpublished.  Three weeks ago when Nana was still here, she and Corey took the girls into the city for the entire day.  Yes, that meant I had a day ALONE at home.  It was blissful.  And very quiet. A friend stopped by and said, "I never knew you had a ticking clock."  Yes, I could hear the clock tick.  Enough said.

Anyway, back to the adventurers.  I only heard a recap and saw the pictures so I'll share what I know...

There was a ride on BART, a cool park, a fountain, a walk to Pier 39, a carousel ride, and a boat ride.  They took a boat ride under the Golden Gate bridge and got some really fantastic pictures from a perspective I've never imagined.  They came home smiling and salty.

 

Muir Woods...and Nana!

Nana was here for two weeks and we had such a great time.  Her previous two visits in 2013 included the Norovirus and a move.  So, we really wanted this trip to feel more like an actual vacation!  After a busy first week of Halloween activities, we headed to Muir Woods.  Corey and the girls had gone last summer but it had been 11 years since I'd seen those amazing redwoods.  Such a sight.  They really leave me in a state of complete awe and wonder.  Lately our girls have been looking much too big for my liking.  Well, one trip to the giant redwoods and all of a sudden they look very tiny again!

Can you spot Natalie?

Audrey looks tiny next to the fence, never mind the trees beyond!

Thank you, Nana, for a wonderful visit, as usual! 

We just love having you here and miss you so much.
