Nancy & Amanda in San Francisco

Nancy & Amanda in San Francisco, originally uploaded by akhummel.

For a nice weekend away from the East Bay, Stu (Nancy)
came and picked me (Amanda) up from school and headed
on our adventure to San Francisco. We first stopped
in Sausalito, the adorable town on the other side of
the Golden Gate Bridge for some lunch and then
continued our way to the city. After a full day in
Union Square shopping and exploring, we went down to
Fisherman's Wharf for some great food and (of course) a
Ghiradeli sundae. The next day we had a delicious
breakfast at Mama's ( a MUST for any San Francisco
visitor), drove down Lombard Street, and went over to
the Golden Gate Park. These pictures are those from
the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden inside the park.

Hmmm.... Any guesses as to which historical location recruited Emily away from Colonial Williamsburg????

Surprise visitors to new Hummel House

Jimmy was in L.A., speaking at the Rose Bowl, and made a stopover with college friend, Travis, to visit the new Hummel house in Woodland Hills. Travis finally figured out Rob's cell phone in order to capture the moment. The hallway and hallway gate were a big hit. Then Jimmy and Travis continued down Topanga Canyon to visit Jon, Gina, and Miss Maddie in Santa Monica.

Get out the bubble bath!

Amelia insists on doing things by herself these days. Can you tell we are about to enter the wonderful world of two-year-olds?!
This independence includes making her own lunches. She has yet to eat one of her creations, but she sure enjoys the preparation process.

Anyone hungry?!
