Our First Family Trip

Dan, Owen and I just got back from a 4-night trip in San Francisco! It was our first vacation as a family, and Owen did great. The flight there was a little hairy - Owen wanted to do anything BUT sit with us, even with his favorite book and lots of snacks. But that was the hardest part of the trip! Our hotel was great, we met up with two families with babies Owen's age, and got out of our comfort zone a bit. Owen was such a trooper - he put up with the long hours and lost sleep much better than I would! We visited a friend in Oakland, the San Francisco Zoo, Ghirardelli Square, the cable cars, Pier 39, Chinatown, Yerba Buena Gardens, the California Academy of Sciences, and did LOTS of walking. We opted for public transportation so that packing was easier, and that was an adventure in itself.

























It was a great trip, but it is also really nice to be home. Owen asked to go to bed at 6:15 and we were happy to oblige!
