Trip to San Francisco











Our little family was so excited to take a trip to California last week. We started our trip by flying from Pittsburgh to San Francisco. I was a little nervous for the 4 hr and 2 minute flight;but Brooke did awesome. She did not cry at all!! She played, slept, ate, and "flirted" with anyone who would look her direction. When we finally arrived in San Fran; Keith's friend Chris and his wife Laura were there to pick us up. We headed straight to Napa for a bit of wine tasting. Chris and Laura knew so much about the Napa vineyards. I learned a lot about the wines from Napa during our car ride out there. We visited two vineyards in Napa. The first one did a tasting where they put three of the same wines in different years together. You were supposed to put the wines in order. Only one girl in our tasting group could pick out the correct order. It was a lot of fun and such beautiful country.
On Sunday we walked all around San Francisco. We went through Chinatown and it was all decked out for the Chinese new year. We walked through the old ferry building which was full of specialty food shops. We put Brooke in the baby Bjorn carrier. She was so excited to see everyone and everything. She definitely enjoyed being outside. When she was tired, she just leaned forward in the carrier and took a nap. It was perfect. We also walked down by Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. We could look out and see Alcatraz too. We ended the day with dinner at a fantastic French restaurant. Brooke slept through the whole dinner. It was almost like we were on a double date. We really enjoyed spending time with Chris and Laura too. They were great hosts! On Monday morning we flew from San Francisco to San Diego.....our trip continues.....
