Taylor and I got away this weekend for our annual daddy/daughter summer trip. This year we didn’t go far…just across the bay. Saturday morning we headed out to Dynamo Donuts to try maple bacon apple donuts. I thought the donut was pretty good, Taylor didn’t share my opinion. After getting loaded up with sugar, we headed north to Muir Woods. For some reason we thought it would be a good idea to take a 3 mile hike…a very steep hike, lots of stairs involved! After we finally came off the trail we grabbed a bite to eat at the cafe then made a quick detour to Muir Beach…cold! After the beach we headed inland to check into our hotel in San Rafael. Our hotel had a pool so after unpacking we went for a swim…Taylor is a faster swimmer than I am, yikes. Next on the hit list was spoiling our dinner with Baskin Robbins. They are having an MLB promotion, so we scored two Dodger mini helmets! After ice cream we headed to the local mall for pizza and a movie. I was afraid I wouldn’t like the new Karate Kid since I loved the original as a kid, but I was actually impressed with the movie, very entertaining. The next day we drove back over the Golden Gate for a day at the exploratorium. Taylor loved it! I haven’t been there in at least 15 years, some things haven’t changed, but there are a lot of new exhibits obviously. We had a great day and a great weekend. I love that girl.
