San Francisco and City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 375 ~ You don't bring me flowers!

We got a lot, a lot done this past week, first we went to San Francisco to visit Clare, Jared and Lila...

Clare is just like me, she is easily adjusted to anywhere, she loves her new home, her apartment, new school, new job. Jared is very homesick, Lila had a hard time adjusting to new room mate, fell sick just a few days after their move to San Francisco, but they are all fine now.

San Francisco to me means Hog Island clam chowder, a meal that I will never miss if I am there.

we did a 7 miles long city hike.... starting ferry building

walk along the water and get to pier 39.....

fort mason......

a lot of steep hills to climb....

but the view is worth it....

more walk along the water and pass by some million dollars houses....

of course Palace of the Fine Arts, one of my favorite spot in San Francisco... continue to walk to Presidio, SF, and a very very steep hill to the place where Clare works.....

found a coyote hunting for food in the woods....

whew... finally there!

We had dinner with the kids, and then back to their new apartment to play with Lila, it was a lovely day spending with people we love.

Our Beautiful World 181 ~ Outside

I am not an outdoor person, but once in a while, I do long to get outside .....

like go hiking......

near Red Rock Canyon.....

 the hiking trail today is called First Creek....

Papi loves the outside air as well.....

but the spoiled little Papi decided that he doesn't want to walk after a while....

we did manage to find the hidden waterfall, but unfortunately, it has no water today

despite that, we did get some good photo with the auto shot.

did you go outside today?

Come share with us at...
