j + b come to town

it's always a party when jordan and britton come to town. we packed in a lot, starting off with an hour and half wait to eat breakfast at mama's, and ending with a scenic drive to muir woods.

i had a moment when we were driving through the sun-dappled hills of marin with the scent of pine and ocean breezing through our open windows. this place is incredible! 

 we did some classic things, like a drive down lombard street

 twirl and dip...our favorite san francisco treat

 

happy independence day! we hiked the foggy land's end trail out to the rock labyrinth, and i made my poor little girls sit out in the wind and cold pretending like it was summer so we could remember their cute matching outfits from my mom. we saw half fireworks that night--the fog hung thick and low.

 nate rowed us around stow lake and got his arm workout in for the month

we cruised on the cable car for a bit after checking out the official cable car museum

 the ferry building farmer's market is my fave. 

nate convinced a few brave souls to down some fresh oysters with him. i think they taste like the ocean, something i'd rather not slurp down, thank you.

the view from twin peaks never disappoints

sage really took to brit this trip. i'd offer to carry her and she'd quickly reply, "no, brit." if i tried to put her shoes on, "no, brit." he is very loved by this little girl!

  from the redwood forest to the gulf stream waters, this land was made for you and me.

 thanks for coming to play with us j + b!
