We drove our van up on Friday morning. Julia did a great job! She slept most of the time and just woke up once to eat.
As you probably know from our previous vacations, food is a big part of our vacations. Ethan always does a bunch of research on where they best eats are. Having been to San Francisco several times already, we know of some wonderful places to eat. But, we did get to try a few new places this time - a burrito place, an ice cream place, a gourmet burger, and a Thai restaurant. The burrito, according to Ethan, was the best burrito he ever has eaten! :) We of course repeated some of our favorite food experiences such as the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market on Saturday morning, Bi-Rite Creamery for amazing ice cream, and "Mamma's" for breakfast. Everything was delicious as always...
Julia was a trooper. She did well in her stroller. When we rode the bus, we put her in a "Baby Bjorn" and then transfered her to her stroller once we got off the bus. We also walked around with her in the Baby Bjorn while we were walking through Fisherman's Wharf. Julia was content most of the time. However, in 2 of the restaurants she got fussy. We were able to appease her by holding her in one of the restaurants. In the other, I was finished eating so I just pushed her in her stoller outside until everyone else finished eating... I was nervous before going up to San Francisco, not knowing how she would do in restaurants, so I was thankful that she did well most of the time.
Here are some pictures from our trip:
The best burrito Ethan has ever had...
After a burrito we needed to try a famous ice cream place we had never tried. It was yummy, just not quite as yummy as "Bi-Rite Creamery."

Saturday morning... on our way to the "Ferry Plaza Market" where there were a bunch of food booths.
Ethan carrying Julia is the "Baby Bjorn" on our way to the bus that would take us to the Ferry Plaza Market. I think she really likes being close to our bodies but being able to look around at everything...

Chad and Vicki on the bus
At the Ferry Plaza Market, Chad was kind to take care of Julia. Notice, he's pulling the stroller... He didn't want Julia to get the sun in her eyes. :)
The "girls" on our way to Fisherman's Wharf
It was pretty cold and windy that morning at Fisherman's Wharf, so we bought this hat for Julia. It says: "Reject: Too Cute. Alcatraz" :)
Ice Cream Sundaes at Ghirardelli Square
Chad and Vicki loved holding Julia. :) They were even kind enough to offer to babysit Julia one night so that Ethan and I could go get ice cream by ourselves. That was a fun get-away!
