We drove up to San Francisco in the morning so that we could walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, since we had never done that before and I have been wanting too.  It was SO windy and pretty chilly so we kept Clara bundled up in blankets in her carseat for a while but she squawked at us because she wanted to see what was going on so I finally pulled her out and carried her, bundled up still, in my arms so that she could look around.  When we got to the other side of the bridge we put her back in her carseat in the stroller and she fell asleep as we began our return trip to the car.  Afterwards we got clam chowder and sourdough bread bowls at Fisherman's Wharf for lunch.

 When we got home Clara skyped with Grandma Cici and told her all about our day.  And yes, she was sort of sitting up (albeit in a fairly hunched over position) all by herself for maybe 15 seconds without falling over.  She has to use her arms to do it though so she can stablize herself.
