home again, home again, jiggidy jig

we did go to the farmers' market, but we actually saw the pig at a farm.  

what an awesome time we had in california.  wednesday morning we flew to san francisco, took the BART to downtown and walked to hotel, checked in and proceeded to walk some more.  we checked out the marina district and ate some crepes, walked down to the waterfront and watched some sailboats, walked to swensen's on russian hill for ice cream, and called it a night.  

the next morning zach grabbed our rental car and after a quick breakfast, we headed across the golden gate bridge into the marin headlands.  we hiked down to the black sand beach and hung out for a bit so kaimana could play in the sand.  we drove through sausalito, then headed to stanford to visit our friends kyle, ann, and their son daniel.

friday we hop, skip, and jumped down to capitola for more beach time!  we drove north through santa cruz and then stopped off at a few more beaches to hang out, watch some kiteboarders do their thing, and eat some food. 

saturday and sunday we had a blast hanging out with the hendricksons... we visited a farm where kaimana got to see his first sheep, pigs, and chickens.  we think he liked it.  thanks to the hendoos for accommodating us and showing us such a great time!

here's a little slideshow of our san fran adventure:

spokane fun...

kaimana and mommy have taken their first road trip.... alone.  with success!  thursday the little man and i boarded a plane to spokane for a quick visit with grammy and papa.  i was prepared with snacks, books, toys, you name it.  all for nothing.  as soon as we reached cruising altitude, kaimana fell asleep on my shoulder, slept the entire flight, waking up only as the engines turned off in spokane.  friday was a beautiful spring day and we spent it out and about.  saturday we drove home in the truck zach's parents have generously given us (we're a 2 car family now!).  it was a long drive for both of us, but we were soooooo happy to see daddy when we pulled into our parking lot.
in the gondola looking out at the water... no kaimana, that's not you're bath!

first carousel ride!  the tiger was our choice as it doesn't go up and down ; )

a lovely day at the park... 

venturing off the blankie.  the binky ensures nothing unwanted goes into the mouth!
