Pollyann's

On our way home from Muir Woods we stopped at Pollyann's, an icecream shop my mom used to take us to. It's probably telling that one of my one few 4 year old memories is of an icecream shop.


They've cleaned it up a lot, but they still have a wheel of flavors and free cones for dogs.

Muir Woods

We took a trip to Muir Woods to see the beautiful redwoods. Andrew and Claire bonded.


Claire found the forest very educational.


There were four kids, so we had to take a lot of breaks.


Andrew's partner Steve Vranes and his wife Becky.


The other partner, Anthony Milewski and his wife Melissa.


Ella and Abby Hatch checking out the clubhouses.


The best family photo we could scrape together.

Muir Bears

What is a sculpted bear's love language? Is it an enthusiastic roar?


A baby bear hug?


Or the always popular kiss?

Oakland temple

Does it seem like the temples in California are a little more stunning than the others?

Sprinkles

We visited this California institution yesterday.




Ella was pleased with the merchandise




Not a bad family outing.

Shopping

Is it just me, or has Brooks Brothers been selling the same clothes for the last ten years?
