On Mother's Day my family celebrated with a day trip to Sausalito and Angel Island. I hadn't been to the island since I was a kid and I didn't remember anything about it other than the ferry trip. Luckily Dan's been countless times and knew which way to hike and where the good views where.
We ran to catch the ferry at 10am, only to stand in a snaking line for 30 minutes where they let everyone on in the end. The ferry was very windy, but Jack's first boat trip so we had to stand on the deck and take it all in.
What a chilly baby!
Peaking with Papa. Predictably I felt sea-sick after a 10 minute boat ride. My stomach is lame.
The $3 Yo Gabba Gabba kite Auntie brought was so awesome! It was a very windy day.
Kite repairs. You can only expect so much when you pay $3.
He's got the tail!
Hiking around the island, looking for a less windy lunch spot. We found a spot with great views, but it was not less windy :(
Overlooking the bay with the Golden Gate over Dan's shoulder.
Everyone having fun.
Checking out the old WWII battlements that used to guard our shores. The men in our group know a lot about these things.
Posing in front of awesome sights. You can see the whole bay, Golden Gate, Bay Bridge, SF, Oakland, East Bay. Plus the sun finally came through the clouds.
Soaking up sunshine. There was a hilarious reenactment of the Odysseys going by every few minutes with trumpeters, singer, actors, and a golden bike coming off the mountain. We got a kick out of it, unlike the mob of people taking it seriously and following along.
Both kids got their naps in.
Coming back
Enjoying hot drinks and desserts in Sausalito
Jack keeps himself occupied by getting tangled in this sign.
What a great 2nd Mother's day! Plus Dan did a bunch of dishes when we got home, and that was a very thoughtful treat!
