A morning at Golden Gate
It’s not always easy to be spontaneous when you have kids, but the other morning – after findings ourselves with nothing to do between swim class and Avery’s nap – we were just that. We took a left instead of a right on our drive home and found ourself smack in the middle of Golden Gate Park, where we ran around a field of flowers, visited the Conservatory of Flowers and even came across a herd of bison. (Bison living in the middle of San Francisco? I’ve lived here for 12 years and had no idea!) It was a fun few hours and a reminder that despite the importance of planning and routine (especially for younger kids), there’s always room for the unscripted.
