Spring is springing around here: so many azeleas and spirea in our yard, the dogwood tree starting to bloom. Privet blossoms smelling nice from the mayhem of vines in our side yard, the wisteria looking beautiful and dilapidated back there too. Pollen everywhere. The afternoons already a bit too hot sometimes.
Going to San Francisco in just a bit over a week with the kids and both their grandmothers and their cousin Hank! Number one goal is Muir Woods. Another important agenda item we'll get to do first: drive over the Golden Gate Bridge! I've seen it many times, walked a small bit of it, never driven over. No one else on the trip has even been to California before! Other goals - get to see Jen/B/C! Eat some amazing food (but WHAT). Probably the Exploratorium, we've got a passel of science lovers. Maybe Slide Ranch? Definitely walk around the city some, or maybe drive, like up the twisty roads to Twin Peaks. Probably explore the Marin County side of the bridge some since we're staying up there, find some cute little restaurants and playgrounds and shops.
The world is such a stressful place right now. Work is pretty intense too. < and then the children awoke >
