Jennifer's Visit, Nov. 2-4

Jen visited us in early November. She stayed with us and we had a great visit, spending time with each other, relaxing and hanging out in San Francisco. Friday night we just relaxed and cooked dinner in. Jen got to feed Zachary solid food - open wide!

On Saturday, we had brunch at Pomelo. Yummy! Zach was his usual charming and mellow self. Then we hopped on the Metro (San Francisco's light rail) and rode it to Dolores Park, where we laid down a blanket and enjoyed the warm autumn sunshine. Zach made use of the time to get some sun where it typically don't shine ... just doing his best to fit in with the locals ... well, actually, if that were the case, he would've been wearing a thong ;) On the way back, we of course stopped for Mitchell's Ice Cream and their most excellent seasonal flavor: pumpkin. mmmm, pumpkin ice cream ...

Sunday we drove down the coast about 20 minutes to Moss Beach. The resident harbor seals were lounging on the rocks just off shore, and the tide was out, so the tide-pooling was excellent. This was Zach's first (awake) time at the ocean. He loved it. Jen loved it. We all loved it. And we all had a blast exploring the tide pools. Kelp, sea stars, anemonies ... enjoy the photos!
