A Marin Kind of Weekend + Kenny Cameo

September 15, 2013

On Saturday morning, I did a quick run with the run club and then met up with Heidi to do one of my favorite hikes in Marin. We started at Stinson Beach and did the 7+ mile Matt Davis trail-Pantoll Station-Steep Ravine trail-Dipsea trail. 

It was a beautiful day and gorgeous hike, great first hike in California for Heidi!

On Sunday, Will and I headed up to Bolinas to hang out with Peter, Natasha, West and friends (West is 1 years old!).

Oh yeah, and did I mention that Kenny was in town? He came down with a friend to check out the America's Cup action and we had dinner on Monday night to catch up.

Kenny took this sweet shot of SF on his flight back to Vancouver:

Fantastic weekend!

America's Cup 2013

September 8, 2013

San Francisco has been taken over by Americas Cup events since last year. We finally got a chance to check it out, courtesy of Damien, Woody and the boys, who set up an amazing viewing center at Crissy Field.

It's days like this that make me fall in love with San Francisco all over again.

Fun. with Tegan & Sara

On Friday night, Will and I made our way across the new east span of the Bay Bridge (pretty!) and headed to the Greek Theater in Berkeley to see a concert featuring Tegan & Sara opening for Fun.

Tegan and Sara:

Super concert on a beautiful night in a great setting!
