Boogie Boarding in Pacifica

On Sunday, after spending a couple of hours with a group of Vanagon fanatics in a parking lot in South San Francisco, all five of us headed over to Pacifica for some afternoon wave riding. Finn finally got a wetsuit a month ago, so it was time to break it in.

By the looks of the picture here, they had a blast and are looking forward to going again in the very near future:

Gassing up in Weed

Or was it weeding up in gas? I can't tell for sure.

We ended up making in across the border, all the way to Klamath Falls, where we took the safe and boring choice of staying at a KOA. Pretty much a gravel parking lot, but it does give us electricity, water, bathrooms, and a pool for the kids. Next stop will be Crater Lake--we'll either spend the night at a campground there, or hightail it up closer to the area around Bend.

On the road (finally)

After packing, cleaning, organizing and watching parts of the Brazil vs. Costa Rica game, we are on our way. And of course, there's traffic on the bay bridge.

Preparing for Our Family Trip, July '14

We'll be leaving tomorrow for our two week trip through Oregon to Glacier, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Nothing is set in stone as far as an itinerary--who knows, maybe we'll only make it as far as Bend! But one thing is for certain--Anke and Bella are ready.

For our first stop near Bend, here are some potential places where we can camp:

Paulina Lake

East Lake

Tumalo State Park

LaPine State Park

Sisters, OR city park

So, as usual, we are light on plans but heavy on food!

Finn on his "bike"

I thought that I'd capture Finn on the wooden like-a-bike, since I'm sure that this phase won't last long. He's hankering for a real bike, or a skateboard. Here he is explaining the difference between all different types of transportation

Enjoy!

Ella Doing Her Homework

Here's the sweet pea out with her mama on a Tuesday afternoon working on her homework in some hipster cafe:

She really is becoming a trendy San Franciscan!

Holiday Season 2008

Here are some pictures from the last couple of days at the Weiss'. Lots of play dates, hanging out with friends, and eating too much:



I think that we'll survive these couple of days, but it looks like we're going to do it all over again next week!
