May in Pictures

May was actioned packed. So much adventure and full enjoyment of the wonderful city that we live in. Anna wrapped up the 2nd grade (help me, my child is growing up way too fast) but not before securing 'Student of the Year'. She also had an amazing Level 1 performance at the SF Ballet school. I was near tears at the opening - she/ the performance was so beautiful - I was blown away by how far she has come in her training. We had a visit from some family in the Philippines (we went to the season start of Off the Grid and Six Flags as well as the House of Air), I volunteered for Anna's class field trip to the zoo and we explored/ walked through more of SF's neighborhoods.

The month was full of great weather and we were out there enjoying it, anticipating the June gloom. So far (as it's June 10th as I write this), we've only seen fog in the morning. The weather also inspired me to get back on a regular routine of activity, which I'll start writing about separately again. Always, running and mindful nutrition is the cornerstone of my 'life balance'...with that in check, we look forward to our summer adventures with no worries!

 The week of May 4th was Brit week! We sent the picture to the right to our friend, Andrew. Lol.

 May 7th I volunteered for Anna's class field trip to the zoo. I had a nice group of girls :)

This picture cracks me up. "Nature. Um, gross."

May 10th was Anna's Level 1 ballet recital. We were proud as proud can be.

 May 10-13 my nieces from the Philippines came for a visit.

 May 11th we hit up Six Flags Marine World

Another beautiful in May (18th) weekend in San Francisco - walking up the Vallejo steps.

We walked all the way down to the Asian American festival in the Civic Center.

The following weekend we headed down to Cole Valley for brunch at Crepe's on Cole and then hung out at the Golden Gate Park!

Memorial Day weekend we spent house/ dog sitting in the East Bay. We did Off the Grid Oakland, the Oakland Museum, UC Berkeley and Chabot among other adventures.

Left: Brunch at Elmwood Cafe and going crazy on samples at the Berkeley Farmer's market.

 Chabot was awesome. We can't wait to go back!

At Cal - where Anna will be at math summer school!
