sleeping beasts

We stayed at the Irving's in SF,

but where mama could sleep???

a sunny day in San Francisco

Milo finally met our old good friend Cera,

and we went to Dolores park to enjoy the perfect day in San Francisco.

Soon after Milo got out of the stroller,

he was a non-stop walker!

He chased after pigeons.

Those really nice twin kids shared their toy and played with Milo.

Also, they told us how to make grass whistles.

Milo was trying too.

But at the end, Milo took their toy and ran away with it...

This boy wanted to play with Milo so bad,

but Milo was too busy running around...

Yuri got so tired of chasing after Milo,

and asked for Cera's help.

Yes, this guy...

I got you, baby!

Look at how bummed he was to be held...

moshi moshi?

California Academy of Science

We went to the California Academy of Science museum.

This is one of the coolest buildings in the world,

and it is famous for the living roof.

They also had a white alligator.

Milo must be so excited!

...

...

?

Oh yeah...

Milo was sleeping...

After Milo woke up,

we went to the aquarium section.

wow, we could see the diver!

Milo was not impressed a lot...

Then we went to the rain forrest area.

Overall, Milo's parents were excited to be there more than Milo :)

We would love to come back there when Milo gets a little older.

Baker Beach

After we left Tahoe, we headed to San Francisco.

Then, we went to Baker Beach with Sam and Dave.

It was a little windy but pretty nice day.

It was so California

that we could enjoy snowy mountain and sunny beach on the same day.
