Day 4 (final day)…not quite as busy but we still managed to make it to Haight Ashburn; Golden Gate Park including the playground we’d go when G was little; Union Square and dinner in the Mission.

Heading home early tomorrow.

Day 2 of our San Francisco visit is in the books. We had a relaxing morning and then ate lunch at California Pizza Kitchen.

We saw Mrs. Doubtfire (the musical) at the Orpheum Theatre and had a FANTASTIC dinner at Pasta Supply Co. in the Inner Richmond paired with a visit to Green Apple Books.

We then took a driverless “Waymo” back to the hotel. Very cool.

Day one in SF … after a long but relaxing drive we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge, drove through Golden Gate Park, visited Ocean Beach (and recreated an iconic photo of Georgia’s first experience of the Pacific 15 years ago), walked around Noe Valley, and had dinner at Eric’s. A full day, indeed!

Waiting (kind of) patiently for his “best friend forever” (i.e., sister) to wake up. (He’s watching her window to see when she puts up her blinds.) Unfortunately for Bert, Georgia is living up to the teenage stereotype of sleeping in whenever she has the chance.

As the world looks forward to Paris…We here on Musket Street also anticipate the equally as exciting “Barryville Lego Olympics!”

May highlights part 2: Georgia’s 15th bday! + getting the boat launched with a Memorial Day BBQ, and G’s track banquet where she earned a Varsity letter and received the freshman girl award ☘️💚 (Not pictured: all of Syl’s events… the library foundation gala, school auction, LES events, and all the other fun spring stuff!)

May highlights part 1: JB’s bday, finishing spring soccer season in the rain, G at the Varsity District Track Meet, Mother’s Day hike, 5th grade field trip to the landfill, JB’s TX trip to celebrate Joe’s graduation, Bert’s first race (800 in less than 3 mins!) at Hayward and then going to the Prefontaine Classic.

So proud of this budding trackster. She ran a PR 5:30 in the 1500 at the Dean Nice Invitational, which was good enough to win her heat and the best time for a Sheldon freshman since 2017. Georgia ran a great race, staying with the lead pack the whole way and then kicking down the homestretch for the win! 👟👟🏃🏾‍♀️
