The two things that I enjoy about summer the most are: that I get to sip my coffee while still in my pjs and that I have time to take my son on day trips, just because. This Thursday we got to visit a cool place with some new friends. It was my first blogging buddy meet-up with Lorraine at Keeps Me Smiling. When I joined the blogging community earlier this year, I had no idea just how many interesting people I’d get to know. Making connections with readers and other bloggers is what makes blogging rewarding.
Lorraine and I took our kids to tour the newly opened Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito and got a first-hand glimpse of how this center helps injured seals and sea lions. Then we headed over to the Bay Area Discovery museum to seek refuge from the blustery, foggy San Francisco weather. Here are some of the photo highlights from our relaxing day by the bay. We got to see the camera behind all of these Photo Friday masterpieces and exchanged some photography tips. No, not really. Many thanks to Lorraine and her girls for a memorable summer day trip.
Go check out Lorraine and other cool bloggers at Delicious Baby’s Photo Friday.
That’s so cool. I have yet to meet any bloggers in my area but I hope one day I will.
Looks like you guys had a blast at the Mammal center.
Looks like you guys had a great time. I was telling my husband just the other day that it is too bad we don’t live in a booming metropolis because I think it would be neat to meet up with some of my “blogger buddies”…of course his reaction to that is an eye roll…he just doesn’t understand!
It was fun seeing the same outing from two different perspectives! Thanks for profiling two favorite places from my childhood.
I wanna go somewhere just because!
I love the Bay Area Discovery Museum! Ahh. You are making me homesick.
I love that about the summer holidays too. It’s fun to hand around doing nothing, but it’s also fun to head off and have an advenuture. Looks like you had a good one!
What great friends they are. My son loves animal parks and wants to befriend each and everyone of them:)
Photo Friday – Manaul Antonio-Costa Rica’s Gem
Coffee and PJs a great combination. Were the chidlren walkig through a twisted treelined maze or something? (second to last picture) Looks intriguing.
Going somewhere just because is a great reason…going with a blogging buddy is even better!
I loved the third photo because the vines created a neat “frame”.
Love the one in the crow’s nest. But then I always wanted to be a pirate.
Oh what fun! Love the one of them running through on the trail.
ditto on wanting to know where /what the strangler-tree like maze is. looks very, very cool!
So that very cool tree branch maze is in the outdoor play area of the Bay Area Discovery Museum. It’s my favorite part out there.
OK, what’s next? My ears are bored, they have requested more.
