Weekend Getaway
We drove around the Marin headlands for a little while in the morning, took a bunch of photos at the old bunkers there, and then crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. This was Lucas’s first trip to San Francisco and now he’s singing the praises of The City. Blue and Headra were perfect guides and showed us lots of fun things. We visited the Exploratorium together—we had a 6-year-old kid in tow, so we had to do something kid-friendly. Since Lucas is so completely science-obsessed, this was an awesome experience for him. Asher was a pretty good sport about the whole thing. Surprisingly, the cafe inside the Exploratorium had pretty good food. It had been many years since I was there, and I remembered a whole bunch of the exhibits. Asher liked the ones with the sand. Lucas liked the ones with “lasers,” LEDs, bubble soap, and the echo tube. I really liked the simple sound exhibit where they had four different microphoned objects (glass bottles, metal sheets with holes, etc.) hanging from the exhibition room ceiling. You could push a button and hear via headphones how the normal sounds of the exhibit hall reflected off these five objects. (I liked the sound number 5 made the best.)

Exploring with Blue; he’s sooooooo fun!

This wall of portraits/photos was really neat
Exploratorium love
Playing at Union Square. More caffeine please!
Asher loved being free to wander around. There was hardly anyone there.
This is me doing my dance number. Life really should be a musical, ya know.
Love you, Bascha, with all of my big fat crimson heart. Thanks for the break in routine. It was very good for me.
