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...

Sneeze Monster

Pronunciation: \ˈsnēz\
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): sneezed; sneez·ing
Etymology: Middle English snesen, alteration of fnesen, from Old English fnēosan; akin to Middle High German pfnūsen to snort, sneeze, Greek pnein to breathe

Aidan has been fake sneezing whenever he hears someone else sneeze. The sneezes actually sound real too. It's so cute, we can't help but encourage it by saying "bless you" every time.
