San Francisco - Day 3 (and a Present-Day Blythe Meet)

We're going to do a little time travel today, a la Lost. Let's start by jumping back to the San Francisco trip...

San Francisco - Day 3

In the morning, mom and dad took some time to explore the Haight. Mom stopped in at Kidrobot to buy some more zipper pulls. They are currently my pull charm of choice, so mom has been really nice to buy them for me when I'm behaving. Because I love Labbits so much, mom snapped Picture 34/365 of the 365 Days Blythe Project while we were at Kidrobot.


Then Josh called and so we went to meet him in The Mission. Josh drove us and Sunil all the way to San Jose for the Computer History Museum.

Daddy loves anything geeky and computer-related. Besides Maker Faire, this was the highlight of the trip for daddy.

It's amazing that computers have changed so much so quickly! They had all kinds of computational and storage devices from throughout time. The abacus, the UNIVAC I, the Apple I, the Speak 'N Spell... It was awesome!



For some nourishment, we went to In-N-Out for a burger and fries. Of course, Alice had tipped mom off to have her burger Animal Style - YUM! Truly the most excellent fast food we'd ever had...


Our other friend, Mic, went back to Maker Faire for the day, so we met up with him at Josh's place and then went to Osha for dinner. Josh is so cheesy! He launched this one while we were at the restaurant: "They must have a really safe workplace here!" Ba-dum-dum-ssshhh!

Mom and dad love Thai food and mom is always a sucker for pad thai. She just can't order anything else.


And, now, let's jump forward to the present day...

Atlanta Blythe Meet!!!

We were joined by the lovely Dolli*Fever and Mrs. Plum for our meet at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. There were ten humans in all and they had a great time with us dolls, though one dolly meet crasher was quite interesting!

We had a lot of fun anyway and decided to give other passersby something to really gawk at!


And thank you so so so much for all the lovely gifts Dianne, Jessica, and Kristen. We sure did enjoy each and every last bit of them!


I was so happy to get to hang out with some of my best dolly buds. I haven't had a chance to see them in a while and I've missed them dearly. Here I am with them! (Pssst - Lola has a narcolepsy/sleepwalking problem.)



And even though Butterbear is a BEAR, he is apparently afraid of the bugs and what-not. So this was the only acceptable solution for him. Silly Butterbear! To commemorate my love for Butterbear, mom snapped Picture 35/365 of the 365 Days Blythe Project.


On another note...

Mom is super-glad that Auntie Becca's birthday present made it! Yippee! Mom tried to send it without postage! Silly mommy... Thankfully, the post-person was kind enough to let mom know of her goof. To remind herself of all her silly moments, mom snapped Picture 36/365 of the 365 Days Blythe Project.


Ta-ta for now! We'll be back soon with more updates!

Hi there Molli! I love seeing pictures of all the cool places you guys went to on vacation. When I was very little, almost as little as you, I went to my daddy's work and some of the computers had big tape reels like the ones you saw at the museum! Crazy huh. I guess that is why I work in IT now.

And the meet looks super fun. I think everyone show visit Atlanta for a meet at least once! It totally recommend it.

And yes, you mommy is silly. I think the note the post-person left is really funny though. Hehehehe Thank you guys a whole bunch for the presents. I get all sappy when I think of my special friends like your family.

Tell your mommy I hope she's feeling better!
