Kris' trip, continued...

Today we drove Kris and Dallas back to San Francisco to meet up with Dallas' dad. I took them the long way, to see the scenery in Marin County.





Our meeting place was the Palace of Fine Arts. I've driven past this place dozens of times as I've gotten off the Golden Gate Bridge, and always wondered what it was but never went and explored it. It is an amazing, beautiful gem of a place.






Her dad came armed with plenty of bird seeds to feed the pidgeons and grapes to feed the swans. We had pidgeons eating out of our hands. Gavin also had a blast scaring the pidgeons. He'd let them gather around the pile of seeds, wait for them to get busy eating, and run into them. He was able to do this about at least ten times, and the pidgeons just kept coming back for more.












The palace grounds were amazing. Gavin had made fast friends with Dallas' dad, who he kept calling "the fun guy." I guess I'm not fun enough.









After we toured the grounds, we were treated to a trip inside the Exploratorium, which was so much fun. Gavin loved the exhibits, and he might have even learned a thing or two.







Well that's probably enough pictures. We had a great weekend, and we're so glad that Kris and Dallas were able to visit with us!
