Weekend Roundup: Steps

Weekend Roundup: Steps

I’ve been wearing a FitBit for a work project. It counted that I hit over 50,000 steps this weekend! Whew, this was a good one.

On Friday, Rob and I dressed up to the nines for the birthday of Bike Party, complete with bow tie and faux fur coat. We met up with a big group of festive riders at Civic Center and rode over to the Palace of Fine Arts for a fun party under the arches.

Lazy morning on Saturday. Rob and I had cereal and coffee for breakfast. He left for a class at TechShop and I did some chores around the house. Walked downtown to return some things I purchased online in the after-holiday sales. In the afternoon, Rob and I walked to Gott’s Roadside for burgers and sweet potato fries and then ambled home through the city.

In the evening, we went to see the latest Mission Impossible at the IMAX theater. Fun movie, with lots of scary scenes if you’re afraid of heights (like me!).

On Sunday, we got up early to drive over the bridge to Muir Woods.

I’d never been before and it was a gorgeous warm day for hiking through the giant redwoods. It’s almost impossible to not get a little lost when hiking in Marin – and this was no exception:

From there, we drove to Stinson Beach to enjoy the nice January day. Fish and chips for lunch, followed by a long walk on the beach. Sunny and clear, we could almost see our house from the shore. The beach was packed with kids and dogs. I’m so tempted to rent a beach cottage out here for sometime this spring:

Home at 3:00 in time for some tea and rest. Margaret came over at 5:00 and we walked over to the Embarcadero for the last night of holiday ice skating along the bay. It was a bright full moon and still quite warm:

Giant Indian food dinner after skating. I was starving from all the day’s activities!
