The morning started out just the tiniest bit foggy-outside and in my head! Lola and Grace didn't get to sleep til 11 and then Lola was up around 2 and after trying to get her back to sleep, succombed to letting her watch tv til 5am!
We got up slowly and finally got ready and walked down to Fisherman's Wharf where we went to the Aquarium by the Bay. It was a nice aquarium, but definitely not worth the price. The funniest thing was that on our way out I spied my friend Bethanie and her two boys! To be fair, I knew she was going to be in town, but hadn't planned anything with her because we already have so much going on. So, the chance meeting was really nice! She and I have been friends since 4th grade! We both grew up in Penn Yan, NY and she has been living in Southern CA for a long time. I don't get to see her much so it was nice to get a few hugs and see her boys and her big belly-she has another on the way!
Rich has always wanted to go to the Fog City Diner. So, after the aquarium, we walked down to the diner and got a table just in the nick of time. The place filled up with work people in the area. The meal was good. We walked back to the hotel afterward and rested a bit til we went out again around 4.
We drove down to Baker Beach to get a different view of the Golden Gate Bridge and for the girls to play in the sand. It was very windy and we stayed a while and then left to drive through one of the other parks. We then drove to the Castro District where we met Amy and Erin followed by Ben and Rita and another friend of theirs from high school that lives in Seattle, but happens to be visiting San Fran. It was a nice dinner at Home. Amy and Erin kept Grace for a while after dinner and the three of us drove back since Lola was getting very cranky and clingy with me.
Grace had a ball at dinner and with them afterwards and is looking forward to spending the night at their house tomorrow night. She loves her aunties!
It's important to note that she told me that she hasn't been with anyone that she doesn't really know that well by herself before. When I asked if she was ok with it, she said yes!
And, I have to report that Lola's words are really coming fast these days! She's starting to use the second syllable and putting two words together. We're really proud and so is she!
Tomorrow we plan to visit the Exploratorium.
