On the first day of our winter break we decided to go for a hike on Mt. Tam. But, as we drove toward the bay, we saw ominous-looking clouds hugging its peak and so turned around and headed up to Tilden park instead. Tilden park is practically in our back yard, but, being constantly drawn to the ocean as we are, we rarely go there. So, it was a treat to discover it to be such a wonderful place for hiking and walking, for getting muddy, spotting birds and magnificent views. We had a great time.
Afterwards, we took a long and circuitous drive looking for something new and undiscovered on the other side of Tilden park. Unfortunately, we found nothing but suburbs and got progressively crankier. Finally, we ventured back into familiar territory and stopped for some ocean air at the Emeryville marina.
We topped the night off at the amazing Christmas light display at the Tilden park carousel. We were hoping to see Santa, but he didn't show (or so we told our exhausted and melting down daughters when we realized we had an hour to kill).

Love seeing all of you on here, and hearing about what you are (were) doing! Alice and Greta was one of Thomas and Nick's favorite books when they were littler as well! Is it the one where Greta is re-reading "The Brewmerang Principle" at the very end?!!
