The day doesn't start for my mom (Maddie's Mimi) until she gets her cup of Philz coffee from down the street. :D
We really enjoy bamboozling each other at cutthroat euchre (all over San Francisco!) ~ I can't wait for the day Madeleine can join forces with Mommy! =)
Here Rich shows he can both "bojangle" us at euchre AND care for a fussy baby! :P
...and when Rich's arms get tired, Mom (AKA Mimi to Maddie) is ready to hold her! (They can come back ANY time, hehe!!)
Madeleine went on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) for the first time.
She loved riding with Mimi and looking all around.
Madeleine went all over town, seeing many sights for the first time with her Mimi & PopPop.
Maddie got to see the Bay Bridge & Treasure Island (where her Mommy & Daddy had their wedding reception)!
...and (John's favorite) Coit Tower ~ from a distance (that's quite a hike, so we'll save up close for another day!) :P
Another one best seen from afar on a cool & windy day: Alcatraz Island! We'll save hat for when Maddie is older (& has been naughty, hehe!)!
How can you do SF without a cable car experience?!?
Of course, Sharkey was very disappointed he missed out on our trip to the Wharf (lol!), but we had to get Maddie to the wharf when she's young before her Daddy can poison her mind against it! :P
Perhaps we can change Sharkey's mind about Fisherman's Wharf; we managed to find a nice, secluded spot to people watch and (surprise!) play games!!!
Madeleine loves showing visitors around her city, but it sure does wear a girl out! ;>
Even after ALL that walking during the day, Mimi and PopPop were still up for taking little Fussy Face for a walk in the evening (to give her parents a little Sweet Peace)! ;>
PIC TO COME OF MOM & RICH WALKING MADDIE
When left alone, the crazy kids (Mimi & PopPop) get a cholesterol craving and head straight for Jelly Donut & Sharkey's favorite, the greasy bacon hotdog street vendor, found only in the Mission and you're never sure exactly where or when! :P
Fortunately Madeleine can't eat solid foods yet, hehe! :P However, it will be interesting to see whose genes "win" out when she can! ;>
THANK YOU FOR A FANTASTIC VISIT, MIMI & POPPOP!
Hope to see you again soon! =)
