Father's Day at Land's End and Hard Rock


























For Father's Day I really wanted to spend some time with just Trina and Dash somewhere we hadn't been before. In getting some ideas together I started searching for scenic areas we could maybe go walking or hiking. One of the first places that came up was Land's End in San Francisco. I have seen a lot of pictures of the area and it's surroundings but had never been there personally. The trails and walkways were busier than I expected and would have liked but with as many twists and turns we always had a chance to step aside for a break or a photo. On the way back to the car we noticed a few spouts quite a ways out and watched as a group of whales surfaced and dove repeatedly. While watching the whales, a pod of dolphins were heading inland and playing in the waves. I never would have imagined being able to see all that sea life so close to home.  After making a stop at the car we wandered over to The Cliff House for a few family pictures. Dash as you can see is learning how to give kisses. I can't wait to get back out to the trail earlier in the day under the cool fog and spend more time walking and exploring. And since we hadn't been to a Hard Rock Cafe in almost two years we decided to stop there on the way home.

Dash's First Baseball Game


 




 








We took a day trip to Oakland yesterday for the A's game against the Padres. I didn't really feel like going out during to a night game and have to do with a bigger crowd and more traffic. So we decided to do a weekday afternoon game and it worked out quite well for the overall experience. We left the house right before Dash's first nap of the day so he slept up until we got to the coliseum. He was so excited being around other kids and babies inside and watching the game as well. The A's lost but we had a great time at the ballpark.

First Haircut















Dash's mop was starting to get into everything so we had to get it cut a few months shy of his first birthday. It took a few weeks of sending shaggy haired pictures to finally convince Trina.
