So long SOMA.



This is our last week in our corporate housing in San Francisco.  We have been living in SOMA ("south of market") on the bay, just 2 blocks from AT&T park for the past 2 months.

We are going to miss our neighborhood (especially the view)...

A view of the Bay Bridge from our dining room.

China Basin and Port of SF

Downtown - you can see Tom's office and the dome at night from our living room.
Sophie had a great time playing in the toddler park along the Embarcadero next to AT&T Park and we loved walking along the water looking at the boats and watching the sea lions.  


Walking along the marina.

We were lucky to have a library across the street.  Sophie loved going every week to her toddler music class with her teacher Jasmine.  She never missed a class.  We will have to find a new music class soon in our new neighborhood!

We will miss our long walks along the bay, the morning fog and the sunrise over the water.

We met Daddy for dinner after work for a nice dinner before we move (again).   Daddy and Sophie are posing in front of the dome that we can see from our apartment.

We are moving on Friday to San Rafael in Marin.  So stay tuned...

Pumpkin Patch!

We took Sophie to the Adobe Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma for some fall fun...

This picture says it all!
 We had fun exploring the farm, had a picnic lunch, road the kiddie train and petted all the farm animals.  Sophie loved the ponies, goats, sheep, pigs and bunnies!   Sophie also loved dancing around to the singing scarecrow playing the guitar (he played several of her favorites). 

 The biggest hit was by far the pumpkins - she loved running around and climbing them!


We love this time of year.  Fall has always been our favorite season and it's even more fun with our girl.
Happy Halloween!

San Francisco Zoo

We went to the San Francisco Zoo for the first time this weekend.  It was a great day and Sophie loved seeing all the animals, especially the children's zoo where she got to pet several! 


Sophie has always loved watching birds so she was very excited to see so many different kinds...
 
You have to look closely but notice the HUGE owl behind Sophie (she just so happened to be sporting an owl shirt too!).


DUCKS!  Always a favorite.
So excited to see the pink FLAMINGOS!


We had to chase him but finally got to pet a sheep...wishing Guinness was with us!

Woa Horsie!  Sophie tried out her first saddle - she loved it!



What a great day and we can't wait to go back again soon!
