Egg Hunting & Friends!!!
March 22, 2008
What a wonderful and full day Gannon had today...first was Allie's birthday party, which was held at his favorite place/park in the whole world! Gannon calls Regency "my park".
Miss Allie turned 2 years old and is (as you can see in the photo) just precious. You can certainly tell that this little beauty is a happy and loved child.
Soon after the birthday party, we headed to the Y-S fairgrounds for the community egg hunt. Gannon had a great time and the monies earned went to Butchie's Pool - so for those reasons...it was a great time but I truly doubt that we'll do this one again!
Next...we were off to the mall for our visit with the Easter Bunny.
Then after lunch, a nap, a bicycle ride and dinner...we finished the day by coloring Easter eggs! Great job G-man and Daddy!!! The eggs were beautiful and bright.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
March 17, 2008
My husband is Irish, so we of course celebrate St. Patrick's Day in the traditional American way...we wear green and will pinch you if you don't, make beer bread, and Slàinte! or toast to health - usually with green beer. Enjoy your day and celebrate the GREEN.
"May the luck of the Irish be yours today."

Majestic Muir Woods
March 15, 2008
After a walk on the beach, a little play time at the SF Maritime National Historic Park and a quick visit to the Maritime museum, we packed up our bags and headed to Sausalito for brunch. Once our tummies were full, we continued our drive to the Muir Woods National Monument. The weather was perfect and demanded us to take advantage of the ecological treasure and spend some time hiking the forest. Muir Woods is full of ancient redwoods (some trees 600 years old) and a range of shade-loving undergrowth, such as redwood sorrel or better known as shamrocks, ferns and gorgeous mosses. It was extraordinarily fun to see all of the redwood sorrel undergrowth so close to St. Patrick's Day. Throughout our entire hike that day, we continued to look for the four-leaf clover - never did find one!

We started the day with an incline challenge and finished the day by following a clear, refreshing stream into the sunshine!
If you like the outdoors and appreciate forest environments - Muir Woods is a must...a true treasure in our great state!!!
My Birthday
March 14, 2008
March 14th is my birthday - another year older...my goodness! There are times I forget that I'm heading into my mid-30's because I still feel so young.
Richard, Gannon and I went to San Francisco for the weekend. I love the city and wanted to spend the weekend with my family next to the ocean and yummy seafood. We started out our day at Pier 39, specifically at the Aquarium of the Bay. We had a great time at this little aquarium (it isn't nearly as big as the Monterey Aquarium, but with a toddler that is obsessed with sea life it is a great way to spend a few hours of the day). Since it is crab season, I was so lucky to eat fresh crab for lunch at the pier while watching the sea lions moo, yell and moan. We played around at the Pier until Gannon fell asleep. Then we headed to Ghirardelli Square for some wine tasting and a world-famous chocolate sundae.
While at the square, we discovered a delicious little cupcake shop named "Kara's Kupcakes". Because it was my birthday - I had to grab a box to bring back to the hotel room for a late night birthday snack. (The coconut cupcake was to die for - YUM!!!)
After time at the square, we went to dinner, walked the streets and did some shopping. But the best part of the short trip was our hotel. We usually stay right in Union Square whenever we stay in the city, but this time I wanted to stay right in the wharf - so we found a hotel called the Argonaunt...and it was a WONDERFUL and FUN hotel. First of all, we had a great view of the golden gate bridge. The hotel's window opened and allowed for the cool ocean air (it smelled so good) to come in and right below our window was the trolley station so we heard the trolley chimes - a great sound to wake up to! The room was adorable - the room was nautically-themed and had a wide variety of amenities such as L'Occitane bath products (that won me over right there), robes and Karen Neuburger socks for guests to use during their stay, Starbucks coffee in the room, comfy beds and a flat-screened TV with a DVD player. The best part of the hotel was how kid-friendly they were - they sent a goldfish up to the room to keep Gannon company. Of course Gannon named him Nemo. Also, in the lobby there is a treasure chest for kids. They are encouraged to pick a prize once a day out of the chest. The valet guy even gave Gannon a ball when we were leaving; how nice is that! Talk about family-friendly!!! So - stay there if you get a chance...I think you'll like it.
Kara's Kupcakes - We love to share!
