Sunday Funday!

Didn't rest much this weekend, but it was well worth it!  Sunday I went to church at Grace Cathedral, which turned out to be Episcopalian (oops!) and one of the most beautiful churches I've ever been in.  This installation http://www.gracecathedral.org/cathedral-life/latest-updates/cathedral-news/detail.php?nid=178 is coming down soon, and I'm so thankful to have seen it again.  The doors of the church were open this time, which is why I took the videos.

After church, my friend Adam and I drove up the coast to Hog Island Oyster Company and ate fresh oysters looking out at the water.  Really?!  This is my life??  So cool.

I love Golden Gate Bridge!

Did I mention that it was 70* on December 29?

And then a pod of porpoises came to say hello.  That was pretty neat.

Climbing!

Sunny Days

Delores Park, looking out over San Francisco

We've been having beautiful weather lately and I've made sure I'm out to enjoy it!  The forecast for Christmas is 70* and sunny!

I've also been trying my hands (and feet) at rock climbing at http://www.planetgranite.com/locations/sanfrancisco/sf_faq.php, which is so incredibly fun.  I'm hoping to get out hiking this weekend and am making my first Christmas Dinner tomorrow!  (Crock pot turkey breast with veggies, potato leek soup, cranberry sauce...wish me luck!)

It's official...

I have pneumonia, and so skipped Art Murmur last night and the hike I was going to do today to rest.  I did, however, get a lot done....

"Excuse me, your dorkiness is showing..."

Last weekend I went hiking in a park here in Oakland.  Again, who knew that this is 10 minutes away?!?

Hiked to a lake

Closed to cars, open to hikers and bikes...

5 months out of the year!  For a newt!

The view from a snack stop with the bay in the distance

Yep, we actually rode the mini train.  It was fun to see how excited the kids got!

 Sunset over the bay

Way off in the distance, between the big trees on the right, is the Golden Gate Bridge!

My city at night.

Pootz loves Saturday mornings: I don't make the bed because I wash the sheets.
