Portola Expedition Camp Trail - Millbrae, CA

Mommy was at home sick in bed. There was a short break in the rain so we headed over to Millbrae to check out this trail. It was so beautiful but we got caught in a horrible downpour when we were over a mile away from the van.

Hornblower River Cruise - Sacramento, CA

After the most satisfying breakfast ever at Tower Cafe in Sacramento, we took an afternoon cruise on the Sacramento River on the Capitol Hornblower.

Stanford Mansion & Old Sacramento - Sacramento, CA

We picked a hotel in Old Sacramento because we knew we would want to keep exploring the area. There are so many restaurants and shops there.

We also went to Downtown Sacramento. While we found out that the Governor's Mansion was no longer open to the public, but we did get to tour the Stanford Mansion. It was great and our tour guide was very nice and accommodating.

California State Capitol - Sacramento, CA

We were in Sacramento for the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. Our first stop was our State's Capitol. We had a great tour by a very informed and entertaining tour guide.

Birthday Party at Sea Bowl - Pacifica, CA

The Presidio - San Francisco, CA

This wasn't our first visit but it was definitely memorable. We had a nice long walk after popping into the Disney Museum briefly. Then, we had dinner. Finally, we stopped by Starbucks for dessert and coffee.

Fort Funston - San Francisco, CA

We live so close, yet this is our first visit to Fort Funston. We didn't stay too long because it was very windy and cold. We will definitely come back to admire its beauty.


Fort Funston is a former harbor defense installation located in the southwestern corner of San Francisco. Formerly known as the Lake Merced Military Reservation, the fort is now a protected area within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
