We had two main reasons for a quick weekend trip to California two weekends ago: the A's game in Sacramento and a Mary Blair exhibit at the Walt Disney Family Museum. It was the weekend before the first day of school AND we were on the red-eye flight home on Sunday night, and if this seems like kind of a crazy plan, trust me when I say that it is very on-brand for us!

we flew from D.C. to San Francisco on Friday night on Alaska Airlines |
 |
there was literally not a single person seated behind us on the flight |
 |
SFO is a great airport! |
 |
there were some cool animals structures outside our hotel in San Mateo |
 |
they were constructed from metal and wood |
 |
I love a beautiful bridge! |
The Mary Blair exhibit was good, although not nearly as robust as some of the other special exhibits we've seen at the museum. Still very glad we went, though!
 |
my sweatshirt for the day! |
 |
we love this museum so much! |
 |
an AVALANCHE of laughter :) |
We absolutely love California and took advantage of going to places we don't have near us!

The Walt Disney Family Museum is located in the Presidio, so we spent some time exploring and enjoying the water and views!
 |
there's a Yoda statue and a hummingbird happened to be visiting at the same time |
 |
C-3PO was up in a nearby window |
 |
such a beautiful day! |
Before the baseball game, we spent some time in Sacramento. I love trains, so I was very happy to visit the California State Railway Museum!
 |
found a cute little mac and cheese place! |
 |
we also ate at a Black Bear Diner, which is one of our favorite places on the west coast |
 |
we had reserved a Mini Cooper, but of course when we got to the rental counter, it "wouldn't be ready for at least an hour" and so they "upgraded" us to this BMW convertible; just know that there's a reason I put the word upgraded in quotation marks |
 |
12 hours after this photo was taken, I was at school for the students' first day of the year!
|
We had the best weekend and it was a fun way to kick off the new school year!
Happy Tails to you!
