After tea, we checked into our hotel (really, the highlight for Sav...she liked going out and about, but without fail, she'd start asking to go back to the hotel within a few minutes of us leaving. Not sure where this fascination came from).
We went down to Fisherman's Wharf and the Boudin Bakery.
Savannah got to practice delivering bread!
The next morning, we went to breakfast and Ghirardelli Square.
Making wishes in the fountain was a highlight for her :)
And then to see some boats on the Hyde Street Pier.
We saved the best for last, though. Her favorite activity, hands down, was doing the trampoline at Pier 39. She's a fearless girl!
She was SOOOO proud of herself for doing the back flip!
We've been busy with last-minute wrapping/shopping/baking, but, yesterday, Jason and I squeezed in a trip back to the SCI floor at Santa Clara Valley Medical. Jason talked to a group of inpatients about life after discharge, and how a SCI doesn't have to ruin your life. I also talked a bit about how this type of injury impacts spouses. It was great to be back; it's good to be reminded of how far he's (we've) come in the past two and a half years. We met some really wonderful people--one of whom was a young man who wants to go to college to study history. I chatted with him a bit and encouraged him to think about Berkeley. We're the best after all :)
Back in the halls that, for a time at least, were home for us.
I hope you all are enjoying this joyous season, and that you are able to spend time with your loved ones.
Love you all,
Ashley
