Lucia's baptism

I'm a bit behind on the blog as usual but we went to Lucia's baptism a week and a half ago at the Norwegian Seamen's Church in San Francisco. Maya behaved very well and kept fairly quiet for the hour long service.

It was great to meet Pete, Heather and Lucia and some of their friends as usual.

The view is breathtaking:

Gay pride

We took Cindy's parents to gay Pride in SF to check out the crazy parade. They thought it was great fun.

Check out the background a little closer. Waipo and waigong thought it was really fun and wanted to make sure we got it on picture.

A visit to California Academy of Sciences

Last weekend was filled with activity. On Friday we went to San Francisco to visit California Academy of Sciences and for waipo & waigong to see the Botanical Garden.

The highlight of the new musem is definitely the rain forest and the aquariums. Maya was not so impressed by the hot and humid rain forest.

Maya on the other hand much preferred the colorful fish and the big aquariums.

A day in San Francisco

After our sprint to the Swedish consulate we had a day to play around in San Francisco. It's always fun to be up in the city.

First we went to the bathroom at the consulate building and then we stopped to feed Maya at private little garden. We had almost completed the feeding when some Nazi security guard threw us out.

We then took a long walk to, and through, China town to find a Dim Sum restaurant. You would think China town is full of those places and you are right it is, but try to find one without a steep set of 1 billion stairs to get to the dining area. Yeah, we quickly figured out that there weren't many of those around. We finally found one that we could access with stroller and had a nice lunch. We completed feeding Maya and went to the bathroom. After lunch we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through China town, looked at lots of different stores, bakeries etc and ended up back at Union Square.

We sat down at Union square to enjoy the sunshine and again feed Maya.

Please take note of the eclectic color combinations in Maya's outfit. We've got yellow socks, orange and pink striped pants, pink shirt, red/white hat and a blue bib. It's so weird it actually kind of works.(Daddy did not dress Maya for this outing so please spare me the accusations).

We looked at some art exhibition and then proceeded to look for bathrooms again which we found at Macy's. Are you noticing a pattern here?

At this point it was time for dinner and we went to the food court at Westfield shopping mall. We ate, again fed Maya and went to look for bathrooms.

This wasn't the usual type of day that we would have in SF but eventful nonetheless. If you ever need to find a public bathroom in SF just ask me, I'm an expert now!
