in search of the sun...

it has been so grey and chilly in sf this summer (the worst since we moved out here 10 years ago. i know, hard to imagine when the rest of the country has been seeing such extreme temp's) that this past weekend we went in search of the sun. we headed to fairyland in oakland and thankfully by mid-day, the sun came out to stay! penny, jason, wyatt, and malcolm met us over there and the kids had a ball riding the rides and running around on the playgrounds together while we all enjoyed the day. the only downer of the day was standing in line for the train only to get near the front of the line only to hear that the train was down for repairs. lots of sad kids for sure! she was so tired out by the visit that she zonked out about 5 minutes into the ride back to the city. we will certainly be back to fairyland!
