San Francisco again!

Ethan and I love going to San Francisco.  As you know, when we go on vacation, it is usually a culinary tour of whatever city we are visiting.  Since we have visited San Francisco several times, we have a few favorite restaurants we go to every time.  But we also tried a few new restaurants.  We went with our friends, Chad & Vicki and their 2 teenage sons, Tyler and Noah.  We had a great time!

Our first stop was a burrito at El Farolito.  After spicey Mexican, it was only natural that we would need ice cream at Humphrey Slocumb for dessert.  Mmmmm.

We tried a new restaurant for us - Tony's Pizza.  The pizza was super yummy.  This picture is Noah, Tyler, and Vicki.

Another new resaurant for us was "Dottie's True Blue Cafe."  We went there for breakfast.  It opened at 7:30 but we made sure to get there a little after 7:00 so that we could be near the front of the line (yes, the line does get super long and if you're not in the front, you will have to wait until customers are done with their breakfast...).  As you can see, we had the 3rd spot in the line.

Our family

Julia was so cute with those ears on her hood and all bundled up in her blanket.

Julia was so sleepy that she fell asleep in Ethan's arms!  It was precious.

Julia was so cute in her sun hat.

Ethan and I wanted to take Julia on a bike ride while Chad & Vicki's family went to Alcatraz.  Unfortunately, we found out that the infant seat on the bike was designed for babie's much bigger than Julia.  Also, the helmet was huge on her!  It was so funny.  The workers at the rental bike company were so helpful and tried so hard to make it work...

The only way to get the helmet to fit her was to put her hood on underneeth it!

The infant seat didn't work, so they tried a trailer that attached to the back of the bike.  Unfortunately, she was not able to hold herself up very well.

Also, the helmet was so heavy on her head, that she couldn't hold her head up after awhile!  Poor girl.  After we saw this we knew a bike ride was impossible for her at this time.  She was such a trooper.  She didn't fuss the whole time we were trying to work it out for her.

Mmmmm.  A cappucino at Blue Bottle Cafe.

Vicki babysat Julia one night so that Ethan and I could go see the Blue Man Group.  It was so much fun!

My favorite food adventure of all - Mama's.  We went there Saturday morning.
