I'm reading Valley of the Dolls right now by Jacqueline Susann. so far I like it.Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239557762186638782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003590660465147423.post-81554204545322924822010-02-21T23:14:45.243-08:002010-02-21T23:14:45.243-08:00I LOVE Olivia but I see you already have that one....I LOVE <i>Olivia</i> but I see you already have that one.

To this day, she has a huge library and absolutely loves to read. A great one for working moms is When Momma Comes Home Tonight. I think I can still recite it from memory! If you are interested in any of these, let me know. I'd be happy to track them down and send them to add to Lola's library!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270822793518211869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003590660465147423.post-2559817337478228692010-02-20T21:14:12.348-08:002010-02-20T21:14:12.348-08:00We love stories, too.

Because you can do anything here with a baby, you just need to pack a Bjorn.<br /><br />The things that would be most fun for her: Sutro Baths (because they're outside), Golden Gate Park (same reason), and Farmers Market (same reason.)<br /><br />For you guys, I would suggest the usual: Chinatown, Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39, Twin Peaks (best view of the city). But I'm sure you've seen all these? There's also a hike near Baker's Beach, supposedly, which I've never been on. I just love Golden Gate Park on a nice day. Union Square is amazing.<br /><br />I don't think that any of the museums are worth paying for here, to be honest. But if you're here on a weekend, you'll miss the free days (first Tues/Wed of month).<br /><br />email me if you have more questions!<br />lisa.bellisario@gmail.comLisa and Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012733900472850296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003590660465147423.post-80368829109128534412010-02-19T22:11:14.969-08:002010-02-19T22:11:14.969-08:00I might have to just do my own blog post about thi...I might have to just do my own blog post about this because I could never pick just one!
