We labored mightily on Labor Day Weekend -- we labored at having fun that is!
Our weekend started in a big way with some
Precious Moments we shared at the
De Young Museum with Casey and Emily. There is a
Chihuly exhibit there at the moment and we all enjoyed the blown glass.
Switching gears the next morning we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge in a thick fog to see some Thule Elk at Point Reyes National Seashore. As our readers
must already know, Point Reyes is pretty awesome:
and we had the opportunity to see about 50 elk, many with huge antlers:
we also saw some amazing bird action. Birds are difficult to catch with our cute little camera, but here is a pelican that nearly took our heads off as it soared down the California Coast:
Here are some more obligatory we-only-go-beautiful-places photos (its for you jb):
The following day we went to Civic Center for the Farmer's Market and the
Slow Food San Francisco exhibits. This was our first visit to the Civic Center Farmer's Market and, with the dome of City Hall in the background, it almost felt like we were at the Madison Farmer's Market...
We also attended a one-year old birthday party in Half Moon Bay. Happy birthday Sierra! (She really liked our present)
Just in case you thought we were getting lazy, we also went on a bike ride on Canada Road. Here Chris is at the terminus of the
Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct.
The following day was Monday. Labor Day. And the weather in the city was ridiculously nice. Chris rode his bike across the Golden Gate Bridge while Olivia went to yoga class. Here is a view of the Marin Headlands from the Presidio. This is the first time I've seen the headlands this clearly, they are almost always shrouded in fog:
We closed out the weekend with a Wisconsin-only, California food, good bye (for a short while) to Emily grill-out in our backyard.
how precious.
