Our First *Official* Family Trip

San Francisco Here We Come! Our first real family vacation had its ups and downs, but overall it was a lot of fun and will not be forgotten.

Ups:
  • The flight with the first time flyer was perfect. Aidan fell asleep soon after we took off and woke up right before we landed. 
  • Our hotel was very nice - it had a great restaurant, pool, comfy bed and backed to a walking trail.
  • We ate at some great places:
    • Sears Fine Foods (world famous for their little pancakes)
    • Ghirardelli Square
    • And this yummy italian place, Piazza Pellegrini
  • We had GREAT seats at the game - first row!

Downs:
  • We had to wait an hour for our rental car, the time was quickly passed with the help of our favorite train and hellicopter, Thomas and Harold.
  • Our rental car (with carseat and gps) was towed and impounded. (Note for future trips - read all signs!)
  • Steve had to yell at a Chivas fan for dancing in front of us.
  • I thought Aidan could wear a water diaper and be okay for an hour or two...
