This is the free roving they gave me at Greenwich Yarn |
And here is the yarn I said I wouldn't buy, but did. |
My mom displays the building she wishes were her home |
It's nice, no? |
Our original plan was to walk to the Golden Gate Bridge. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Actually, walking to the bridge was Leo's idea, I had doubts we'd make it. |
We let Panda go for a romp in the water en route. |
She has no fear of under tow, waves, or other threats to life and limb. |
Luckily, she's a tough little cookie. |
Here we are at Crissy Field. We are nowhere near the GG bridge yet. |

She's cute, huh? |
I guess we really like taking her picture. |
She starts getting mad when we don't throw anything for her to fetch. |
Here's a funky succulent something or other. Ok, I know nothing about botany, but I think it's cool anyway. |
And this was some sort of creeping vine type thing that had neato-squeato red vines. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Here is the entrance to the Palace of Fine Arts. It's pretty impressive. |
I really can't speak to the history of this or what it's all abut but it's great to walk through |
Pillars play a big role in the design |
And guess what? |
Dogs are welcome to roam the premise. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Not much to say about it all except, "cool" so I'll just keep quite while you peruse the pics |
|

|
|
Keep walking and you hit a great little pond |
With swans and ducks and such |
Panda thinks they are fascinating |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
She would like to herd them |
But we don't let her |
|

I really like this shot because of all the birds. |

Friday June 3, 2005--A.K.A. Leo's BirthdayLeo is not an early riser, so I awoke long before he did to join my parents for brunch. If you know me, even a little, you know what I ordered; Eggs Benedict. After that, Ben (my stepfather) watched Tennis while my mom and I hit a nearby yarn shop. After walking and shopping off breakfast, I headed back to the hotel and Leo and I went for a birthday walk with Miss Panda. We started at Crissy Field, the day they lifted the ban on off leash dogs, then to the Palace of Fine Arts.
