We went to the San Francisco Zoo for Labor Day, along with most of the other families in the Bay Area. I had the best time ever! My favorite animals were the lemurs and the ducks. I waved and waved and waved to the lemurs, but I don't think they could see me because they didn't wave back. Same with the ducks. The goats were okay, but I definitely wasn't going to touch them.
Today we went to the de Young museum. I liked watching the skateboarders outside.
The Gilbert & George exhibit was okay, but my favorite part was getting snacks at the cafe. It was really loud in there, so I had to talk extra loud so that everyone could hear me. I'm not sure what the dirty looks were about. All the European tourists in the cafe thought I was cute, and even told me so.
My second favorite part was seeing the pigeons sitting in the fern court outside of one of the exhibition rooms. The Daddy pigeon gave the Mommy pigeon a kiss before she flew off, and that's when I saw the two little white eggs. The Daddy pigeon sat on the eggs and fluffed up the leaves in the nest to keep the eggs warm. Where's my other egg?
I also liked the big apple.
Mom and I went into San Francisco today to have lunch with Silje. It was really, really windy. But I had another sweater to keep me warm. This one was made by Nana's friend.
After lunch, we went for a walk at Crissy Field. There were lots of windsurfers out in the water, and people playing with dogs, and bright sunshine. I was sleepy.
Keren, Mom and I went up to Sonoma to visit with Jen, Nick and Annabelle. We all had a fabulous lunch at FARM at the Carneros Inn. Mom explained that it wasn't like eating on a real farm (lowercase) because of the nice tableclothes, which is also why it has to be spelled with all capital letters. I liked hanging out with Nick so much that when he tried to give me back to Mom, I spit up all over him just so he would hold me a little longer to clean me up.
We went to Santa's Tree Farm in Half Moon Bay for our Christmas tree today. I got so excited about seeing Santa live and in person that I barfed up my entire lunch. Fortunately, I barfed all over Mom, and not on Santa. Neither Santa nor I were very impressed with our first meeting, as you can tell from the photo. To be honest, I think Santa and I were both a little worried that there might be more barfing (coming from me, not him). Or maybe Santa just needed a cookie. Hey - maybe I need a cookie!
Santa Cruz is so beautiful. Dad told me all about how he and Mom used to surf here on the weekends before they got too busy with school. We came down to go to the Santa Cruz Waldorf School Winter Fair with Rachel and her family. Afterwards, we went for a walk along the ocean. Dad tried to show me a a seal out in the water (or was it a sea lion? or an otter?) but it was too far away for me to see.
Today we went to the pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay. Our visit was almost cut short by a big blow-out in my diaper, but Mom had an extra outfit in the car. Once we were back in the field, I picked out a pumpkin bigger than me. After, we went to Barbara's Fish Trap at Pillar Point Harbor for a basket of deep-fried fish, scallops, and calamari. There was some minor commotion on the beach when a big rat ran by, but I wasn't worried because Dad was keeping an eye on me.
Nana and Papa took me and Mom out to La Corneta Taqueria for lunch today. Mom ate lots of beef tacos in Mexico last January when I got my first start in life. Now she's in a prawn tostada phase. I miss the beef tacos. Mmmmmmm...beef.
