Weekend Food and Culture

After days of rain, the sun finally emerged on Saturday. After exhausting ourselves watching Sweetpea play soccer, we decided to play tourist and started with brunch at Cliff House. The food in the bistro is hit or miss but you can't beat the stellar views of Ocean Beach, and the surf was so insanely high even the die-hard surfers were avoiding going in.

These two like to snuggle. A lot.

Afterward the wind blew us around the building to take in the views and exclaim over the aforementioned surf.

Then off to the Legion of Honor, famous not only for its Rodin sculptures and collection of European paintings (not to mention its current "Post Mortem" exhibition which had an actual mummy, thrilling Sweetpea), but for its stellar setting overlooking the Pacific. One of our favourite places to hang out and a must-visit if you ever come to San Francisco.

"Hey, it looks like Daddy!"

Portrait of Paul Mounet by Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel (photo by my Dad).

This is one of my favourite paintings that I spend at least five minutes in front of every time I visit. Her expression kills me.

The Broken Pitcher by Adolphe-William Bouguereau.

I couldn't decide if this guy was worried or disgruntled. Probably disgrunted by his bad perm.
I'd be pissed too.

We're now back to less cultural pursuits like shopping for birthday and Christmas presents, and preparing for a certain almost six year old's birthday this Friday.
