an afternoon bike ride

Last Saturday was such a beautiful day that we decided to take our son to go bike-riding in the city. Our plan was to run beside him and at first, we thought our chances of running were not very high...we didn't think he'd be fast on his little training bike...but to our surprise, he was zooming past us and we were the ones trying to catch up with him. We stopped halfway to enjoy lunch and some desserts. I can't wait till there are longer stretches of sunny and warm weather...

Lunch time!!

city walk

Instead of lounging around the house the other night, we decided to head to the city and take a nice long walk. It was a wonderful idea suggested by my boyfriend. We're both on this mission to get in shape so the long walk was perfect. It ended up being a very relaxing and almost therapeutic walk. 

I've always loved the city because there are so many exciting things to take in. Before I had my son, one of the only things interesting to me was the nightlife. Where was the most popular club? That was pretty much it. Now that I'm a mommy, the hunt for the best club or bar doesn't have much priority in my mind. It's become more about the simple things. The bright lights, the people, the architecture, the sounds of cars driving by, the smell of food cooking from nearby restaurants. 

As we were taking our walk I couldn't help but think, "What is everyone's story?" There were a lot of people running along our path. Are any of them training for a marathon? Did the man who just ran past me have a rough day and blowing off some steam? I saw two women dining outside a restaurant in a deep and intense conversation. Were they friends or sisters? Maybe they just got off work and were venting about their day. Or maybe they're full-time students talking about how stressful school is. A city is full of different people, each with a different life story...I love it.

Speaking of cities, I just recently joined Circle of Mom's SF Bay Area Blogs. My blog is on the list to find the Top 25 SF Bay Area Blogs. I completely forgot about the whole thing so I haven't really put it out there. Voting ends July 29th. Click here to vote for me! Thank you! <3

a free day

Today was a really fun day! My sister, my son, and I headed out to Academy of Sciences here in SF. They offer a free day to the public every 3rd Wednesday of the month so we decided to take advantage of it for the first time. The line was longer than a Disneyland ride, but luckily it went quickly and we were in the museum in 30 minutes. We didn't stay the whole day, but we had a blast...definitely something to take advantage of if you're in the area. 

maid of honor duties

Yesterday, I attended to my maid of honor duties. My friend flew up from San Diego (her wedding is next weekend!) for her last dress fitting. With my son in tow, we went to Wee Scotty in Pacific Heights of San Francisco. It's a cute little place that specializes in bridal alterations. They did such a fabulous job at her dress and the lady who works there is incredibly nice! 

our little helper

After picking up her dress we stopped by her aunt's bakery, Patisserie Philippe, also in San Francisco. Her aunt will be catering the event so they had to go over the arrangements for next weekend. While they talked it over, we indulged in some of her macarons, which were to-die-for (my fave was hazelnut). 

Our last stop for the day was BevMo! We went to check out wines and spirits to buy for the bar at her reception. It took longer than expected, but Dylan had his fun playing hide-n-seek...

AHH I have a speech to finish writing! A maid of honor's duties are never done...SO excited for next week!
