S+C Visit!

 This weekend I went up to Novato to see Stephanie and Christian again! It's been a while since we got to meet up, so I'm glad that restrictions are lessening and we can see them more often.

Magnolias!

This weekend I went to the botanical garden in Golden Gate Park to see the magnolia trees in bloom! There were a bunch of other people there, but the garden was big enough that it felt spread out. I enjoyed seeing the blooms a lot!

Moving Victorian!

 This weekend I went to see the moving of a Victorian house. The house was driven down the street about 1/4 mile, and it took several hours. The streetlights had to be moved, trees were trimmed, and parking meters were removed. We went to watch the house turn the first corner, and it ran into a street sign! The house made it safely to the new plot eventually.

Long Weekend!

This weekend I got a full four days off!! I used most of the time to play some video games, but I was also able to go outside on hikes in the middle of the day, which was nice. 

Zoo Trip!

 This weekend the zoo reopened, so I got to go to the zoo with my family! It wasn't too crowded and we got to see a lot of animals. We didn't walk around the whole zoo but we got to see the giraffes on the savanna!

Meetup?

 This weekend I got to play Genshin Impact, my new video game, with my friend Birdie! I had a lot of fun exploring my world together. We took a picture with our two favorite characters on one of the hilltop sanctuaries! My character is the one with blue hair, and Birdie's is purple.

Sidewalk Art!

 This weekend I was on a walk through the neighborhood and saw this chalk drawn by one of our neighbors! There is often art on our sidewalk, sometimes it's dragons or mazes, but this one had a particularly relatable message (caption: embrace the existential dread) ...

Mystery Hunt 2021!

This weekend I got to play in Mystery Hunt with left out! I had a ton of fun talking and puzzling with the team. The hunt was virtual, but the team that ran it did an amazing job! We took photos for a scavenger hunt around our neighborhood, using objects like a bunk bed and bubble tea.

Genshin Time!

This weekend I didn't do much, but I recently started playing a new video game! It's called Genshin Impact. My favorite pastime is exploring the cities. It's also fun to talk about it with some of my friends online!

 

Entwined!

 This weekend was my dad's birthday! In honor of this occasion, we went to Golden Gate Park and saw some art installations that were put up for the holidays. This one shows us at Entwined, a light exhibit.

Online Holiday!

 This week I got to see my family virtually to celebrate the holidays! We made three different calls to get in touch with family. I'm glad that everyone seems to be doing well, and I hope that next year we'll be able to see each other in person again and give each other lots of hugs.

Tree Shopping!

 This weekend I went shopping for our christmas tree! We're a little bit late this year but we were able to find a good tree at a lot and take it home. It isn't decorated yet, but that'll be a project for another day! At the lot they had some trees that were interesting colors - I especially liked the purple ones.

Home For The Holidays!

 This weekend I put up the holiday decorations around our house, including our wreath and the flowers! Some of my favorites were the cards that we've gotten from friends and family.

Nickel Crossing!

 This weekend I got to play Animal Crossing with the Nickels! I loved visiting their islands and seeing what their characters look like. Emma's holiday room was one of my favorites! Emma is at the left side of the table, and I'm on the right.

Double Thanksgiving!

 This week I got to celebrate Thanksgiving with two different family groups! In the morning I saw the Nickels virtually, and we made some holiday cocktails. For a socially distant thanksgiving lunch, I got to see Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Christian! I had a lot of fun at both gatherings.
