Kitty, Kitty!

We rented an apartment located in the telegraph hill area of San Francisco, about five blocks away from Fisherman's Wharf. During our stay here, we took care of two cats. Eloise always chased them under the couch and here she is trying to lull them out.

We lived on the top floor and had great views. There was even a back yard where Eloise loved to collect rocks. The location was perfect being walking distance to Trader Joe's, Safeway, Fisherman's Wharf, great restaurants, parks, the library, etc. We were surrounded by steep hills and every time I left the apartment, I knew I would get a work out. Pushing Eloise up the hills about did me in. I always arrived to the apartment huffing and puffing.

Oakland Zoo

Eloise got a kick out of brushing the goats.
Of course, she loved the elephants.

Subway ride home from the zoo.

California Academy of Science Museum

Eloise loved this museum. She was very excited to see all of the animals and the "fishies."
Nick and I were very busy chasing her as she ran from one exhibit to the next.

Golden Gate Park

The first 2 weeks we were in San Francisco we rented a place that was near the Golden Gate Park. Here we are walking around the Botanical Gardens, which were beautiful. It was fun to see all the different plants native to various parts of the world.


This was Eloise's first carousal ride. She loved it, but was not content riding just one horse. She wanted to ride all the different animals.

Boppy

Eloise has named her blanket "boppy" and carries it with her everywhere.
She also snuggles up to her "boppy" when she goes "night night."

Playtime with DaDa

Eloise and Nick collected small pinecones and are sharing them with her bunny and cow.

Grandma Visits Williamsburg

Eloise had so much fun while grandma was visiting. Grandma brought her some books and a beanie buddy dog. Now she always has to sleep with her "doggy."
