Foster Family's First Father's Day

So, this post is over a month delayed, but the initial idea was that Mike was going to do a special guest appearance as blog author... he got a good start, but I didn't stay on him enough, and truth is - we both forgot about it.  Life with an almost one year old is busy!  So, here's what he had so far, plus some commentary from me.

Father’s day started off just like any Sunday...  Andrew woke me up around 6:30 and quickly demanded his morning bottle as usual.  Melissa was on morning duty, but I was still up for the day. Although the morning was not filled with Bloody Mary’s, Mimosas, and then some more Bloody Mary’s, it turned out to be a very nice day with my family. I received several Father’s day cards and a traveling wine bag filled with goodies.  This was a well needed addition for us for going to all the local wineries, which we seem to frequent.  We don’t go necessarily for wine tasting, but for enjoying a nice bottle of wine and walking around the lavish or sometimes rustic estates. Andrew also seems to enjoy going since there is often nice grassy areas and others kids around. So this morning, with the new wine bag packed with the essentials (wine, cheeses, crackers, and salami) we headed to Muir Woods, which was Melissa’s suggestion since I have wanted to go there since we have been living in CA.

Andrew's Spot for the Day







After walking through the huge trees, we headed to Muir Beach to take Andrew to the ocean... unfortunately, it was extremely crowded and there was no parking at all, so we headed up the road, and found this neat look out where we picnicked instead.








This was a happy yell!


I have to explain my outfit... it was FREEZING cold in the San Fran area, and we were completely unprepared - we had left 100 degree weather for 60 degrees and windy... So,  since I still had my cowboy hat in the car from the rodeo, I bundled up with what I could!!
