Ok... so the Saturday morning thing... 
We got up and headed out to a wonderful day of history and California:


 This is from the Marin side... looking SOUTH for you back east folks!

And while i was out taking "hand held" shots of myself (now hold the camera as close as possible, keep it ABOVE you and pointed downward so your neck is gone and you get a good view of the chin line....") Court was working on something important:


Scary... this is her travel bag--- i am afraid what will happen once she gets an apartment of her own and can afford a whole make up table.


This, on the other hand, is me again... (Master's Eagle is there in my cleavage--- a good place to keep Him).


They are closing down and renting out a lot of the older forts/ military space around the bay, and on this side under thebridge is a BEAUTY of a place...

complete with a future DUNGEON!!!(Master! Look!)-
 and i know how much He would love to have another playspace... i will find one for Him someday, i swear.

Meanwhile, we never do meet up with the class at either the GG or here, and so we continue trying to read these amazingly stupid directions ("Drive through Sausilito until you see the supermarket that isn't Safeway"... like there are FIFTY of them and you couldn't put up a NAME even???).

So it's an interesting day... in this case, he forgot to tell us to GO THROUGH THE HUGE TUNNEL if we wanted to be with the rest of the class... eventually we all found each other. Not HIM mind you, but each other (see, we ALL read them the same way!).

Where the guy wanted us was HERE, at the Marin headlands on the west side of the bridge (couldn't he even say WEST side of 101????), in the valley where the  US army has been stationed for about 100 years in various ways.
We were to meet at "Vistors Center" (are you aware that at ANY California tourist spot there are at LEAST 2 locations labeled with "Visitors Center" as well as a camera kiosk with that name??? He might have helped us with "Go to the ONLY CHURCH around with the RED ROOF at the BIG parking lot where the ONLY BATHROOMS IN THE WHOLE VALLEY ARE.  really--- hes a great conversationalist with a brilliant mind... but these directions SUCK.

So we finally get there and the center is adorable (souvienier shop! Souvenier Shop!) and learn about this lovely place.



Where we proceed to shoot pictures like a Sweedish film school and create chaos a la Marx Brothers




It's times like these that i most regret that i can't post my own face on line... the pics are hysterical! But... i doubt if it would be a good thing to get outed (sigh...again?) as long as i can keep stuff out of the limelight for my family... and Master's family! So i will continue to hang out with photo hounds that will do the deeds for us, K?
