Gung Hay Fat Choy










Or roughly translated....Happy Chinese New Year!

It was one of those picturesque San Fran days - 70 degrees, not a cloud in the sky and no wind - so we got out of the house!

Brunch in North Beach then a little urban hiking in Chinatown where we saw firecrackers and dragons.

And after a quick refueling of hot chocolate and a bottle sitting outside at a coffee shop watching the world go by....we followed two little boys and their parents to a nearby park. Oddly enough, I think this turned out to be our favorite part of the day for all three of us. We decided that Johnathan was a little boy and little boys are going to get dirty so we just let him crawl in the grass.

And crawl he did...from leaf to leaf and mudpile to mudpile. His fingernails were black with dirt and his socks had to come off before he even got back in the stroller. He had a blast and we had so much fun watching him discover sticks.
