Mommies day

Yay, we are going to the city for Mother's Day....Boo, everyone else is too!! click on the photo, if you want to see the major congestion. The gang had picked a secret location to celebrate Mother's Day, but before we did that, I wanted to go to the Legion of Honor to see this show. This is my favorite museum in San Francisco, and if you have been reading my blog for a while, you know this. The museum is deep into the city though, and takes some time to get there. Usually it is fine, but yesterday because of all this traffic, I was a bit anxious trying to get there on time.
Finally in the city, driving past city hall.
When I see this sign off Geary, I get excited, because the next block is 34th Ave, and that is where you turn for the museum. Yay!! We made it, with a bit of time to see the exhibit too :)
They won't let you take photos in the exhibit area, so this is the only photo I have inside. We are waiting for David to park, and meet us in the entrance. It was a lovely show, and luckily it wasn't so huge, that I got to enjoy it for the amount of time we had there.
I always love the view of the city from the hill top of the museum.
OOPs, I meant to put a picture here of where we ended up. The family surprised me with tea at Lovejoy's. A very quirky tea house that is a favorite in San Francisco. It feels as if you are visiting your grandmother.
Tea sandwiches, salads, fruit, and delicious tea of course. Cozy and lots of fun, for a beautiful sunny Mother's Day.
Yummy!!

My babies

They also had a little antique shop across the street that we went to take a peek in.
I have way too many tea cups at home, so I resisted the urge to really look that hard.
This one caught my eye though. No, it did not go home with me.
I had a very nice day with the family, and yes, the guys did come to tea, but sadly I don't have any super great pictures of them there.
My goodies from the family. Nicole and Pierre got me these adorable vintage Steiff animals. LOVE them!!!
The books that I picked up at the museum. I loved that Elsa Mora's art, was on the cover of this paper cutting book. The other of course is of the exhibit.

Darling little card that Caitlin drew and painted.
Don't you love these little animals?!
Lovely necklace David and Caitlin got me. It is always nice wearing little symbols of your children.

Hope all the moms out there enjoyed their day.
