Archery

Weaponry is one of those hobbies I never really pictured for myself; I just kind of married into it.  And...I love it!  Our newest toy: the recurve bow.   I am certainly not a natural, but with the range right nearby in Golden Gate Park we're hoping to go at least once a week.  As my husband likes to remind me, we need to be prepared for when the zombies attack.

Grizzly Island

Traipsed around Grizzly Island on Saturday for about 6 miles or so.  The last time we were here was more than 2 years ago, so it was definitely time to revisit.  The marshland maze of streams and levees is beautifully wild and overgrown and there are birds and critters everywhere you look.  We didn't see any elk this time, but we did spot a raccoon and an otter!

Las Trampas Regional Wilderness

Stepping up our hiking with Las Trampas Ridge, a steep but stunning 4.6 mile loop.  Once you get out of the city it really feels like springtime!

Kung Kung's 100th!

This past weekend we celebrated my Kung Kung's 100th birthday!   When I was a kid he taught me how to use chopsticks by picking up ice.  When I was in high school, he made me a hand bound Chinese dictionary to use in school.  He also taught me how to make gau!  When I got my wisdom teeth out in college, he brought me homemade jook.  These are just a few of so many wonderful memories.  I am so blessed to have an amazing Kung Kung!
