Cal Academy of Science

Who knew that one of the hottest places in the city would be the Cal Academy of Science? I've never seen quite so many people dressed up at a museum, although this would be the museum for such extravagance. With a dj, pop up bar and a new exhibition on earthquakes, the Cal Academy of Science has made learning even more fun.

Jungle Life

It's a jungle out here...a cat jungle. And we're just visiting.

BiRite

A few cold nights won't stop the quest for the best ice cream the city has to offer. Here's to honey lavender, salted caramel and the best family.

Solitary

Empty beach and a beautiful day. What more could a family want?

Mingalaba

Husband and I took a culinary adventure to Mingalaba for some long dreamt after burmese food. Small establishment with all the favorite dishes. Hello indeed, and thank you very much!

Olive & Vine

Nestled in Glenn Ellen, in a complex of restaurants, is Olive & Vine. It practically screams posh with its high ceilings, modern open kitchen and collection of wine. Husband and I partook in a couples dinner with some shared plates and a bottle of amazing wine. I am usually not a huge fan of pinot but the Emeritus was shockingly balanced and smooth. Cheers to good food, good drinks and good friends.

Forever Young

In my dream house, I would have this instead of a dining table. Who needs to eat when one can dominate at air hockey! 

Thanksgiving Bacon

Bacon can make even an entire holiday dedicated to food better:  Bacon For Thanksgiving. 

Ledson

As part of our wine country weekend, we paid a visit to Ledson Winery and their beautiful grounds. Wide variety, not sold in stores, great for pictures; skip the Pinot, and take note that they don't deduct tasting fee even if you buy a bottle.

Domestic Ramblings- Turon

Crossing Guard waiving her hand at the pedestrians waiting: "Come On"

Husband: "Did she just say turon?"

Me: "You are clearly anchored...or hungry"

His & Hers

Little creepy, but definitely gets the point across as to which bathroom door is intended for which gender.

Girl and the Fig

Wine country isn't just about wine; it's also about brunch and cheese. Husband and I took a short weekender to wine country with a few friends, and enjoyed a casual brunch at Girl and the Fig. Two words- cheese tower. One feeling- happy.

Vacation Home

One day maybe we'll be those kind of people who have vacation homes. Until then, we can take a vacation in someone elses home thanks to AirBnB. More importantly- a home with a pool. Now this is a vacation.

Zaytoon

Lessons of the day- (1) A sampler is always a good idea; (2) When people say 'umm I think it would be enough for 2 people', that means yes it will definitely be enough for two people, probably even three people; and (3) the best places are always off the beaten path. Thanks Zaytoon for a fabulous Mediterranean spread. We will definitely be back.
