Rob planned the perfect "first" family vacation! We left last Thursday and drove to San Francisco for two nights in the city. While there, we hit all the things we knew Jack would love and squeezed in a few fun things for ourselves, too. We rode the cable cars with Jack, but surprisingly, he was more interested in the cars, trucks and buses that we passed on the street! Apparently he is not interested in the historical significance of the cable car, nor was he interested in the hour long wait to ride it! He did love being pushed in his stroller UP all the hills in the city, checking out the fish at the aquarium, eating bay shrimp for lunch, playing with his toy cable car, riding the elevator at the hotel, helping Daddy bring Starbucks for breakfast, playing on the playground in Chinatown, eating dim sum for dinner and playing with the goats and sheep at the SF Zoo petting area. He was less impressed with Union Square, eating in restaurants, waiting in line for everything, missing his naps, and shopping in general. Rob and I enjoyed the city, especially our surprise fireworks show from the 43rd floor of our hotel on the 3rd of July! After the zoo on Saturday we headed up to a tiny town called Inverness about an hour north of SF. Rob Pearson's parents have a wonderful guest cottage and were so kind in sharing it with us. We really got some good "down time" there. No cell phone reception, just lots of beautiful views, quiet days, lovely afternoon strolls, and time to enjoy one another. We explored Point Reyes (where Rob decided we will retire and run the adorable hardware store) and visited the Inverness Light House. It was over 300 stairs each direction and Jack INSISTED on climbing many of them himself! The views were astounding! The northern part of our state sometimes feels like another planet, truly breathtaking!
Well, we're home safe and sound now. Laundry, errands...what's for dinner?
