The super overgrown yard from a few posts back... well the new guys we hired showed up and ripped everything out (seamus supervised)

then off for another tattoo appointment (we put in white lines and some darker ares to add shape)

and then headed over to Marin with Dan for dinner with my mom (The Buckeye Roadhouse) we had pretty drinks and tasty food:

My white faced old lady dog hasn't been on here in a bit.  Here's sweet shasta:

Happy Birthday Dan!

Started with breakfast at Park Chow (just outside of Golden Gate Park)

then spent some time at the Academy of Sciences

saw the Planetarium show

then we drove back to Hayes street for some coffee and the craft fair that was going on there.  Headed home to chill for a bit then got changed and grabbed bart back to SF for dinner at Townhall (super tasty)

How my tattoo looked in the morning before my appointment

and after with the final touches to the colored leaves (grey wash and white lines)

Dan and I dinner with Armando and Paul... Armando is holding a fried fish head in this photo.  I have a photo of it in his mouth too but just couldn't bring myself to post it.  the whole fish thing freaks me out (although it was super tasty)

And Happy Wedding Anniversary (3 years)

oops didn't take any photos - we were home doing laundry from the weekend away :)

Happy Anniversary (of dating - 14 years) Dan!

this was our last morning in the Muir Beach/ Stinson/ Pt Reyes area so we took a little hike through Muir Woods before heading home.

Got up fairly early, had some breakfast and then drove and hiked around the area.  This is the Muir Beach Overlook... so windy and cold!

mossy tree

Agate Beach - was supposed to have lots of tide pools... tide pools weren't that great but it was fun to hike around the beach anyway

Ended up at Stinson Beach later in the day (via a pit stop in Pt Reyes Station where Dan just had to get a kite ;)

Dan and I drove out to Muir Beach (stayed at the Pelican Inn).  took a walk down to the beach before dinner... lots of dogs playing.  The weather was gorgeous.

Made Drew a cape for his birthday:

this is him crashed out in the booth after dinner
