San Francisco!

Oh my goodness! To end fall break we went to my brother's wedding in San Francisco. We prepared hard to figure out how to get everything we needed there without feeling like we had too much (which we probably did anyway). Here's a few shots (from so so many) to tell our tale.

The flights to and from were great. Abel had a hard time keeping his feet off of the seat in front of him (I only had to have words with one mean man). Adelyn ate, slept, ate and slept. At the end of the first long flight from Cincinnati to San Francisco, Abel was insisting he hold Adelyn.


We got there and had a really fun first day. It was just the four of us and it was so fun! The next morning, we met up with my sister and her kids. As soon as Abel saw his cousins, he grabbed their hands and said, "Dance!" Then he proceeded to start singing Ring Around the Rosie. Clearly he does this at daycare and clearly he is the leader in making it happen!


We really struggled with which stroller to take. In the end, we decided to take the great big duo-glider and I'm really glad we did. We walked everywhere in San Francisco (with a few cab rides here and there). Our second day there, we walked for about 3 hours. The hills were adventure - especially with the stroller! Abel loved being in the front - he even pretended he was Superman!



Here are a couple of shots of the family and the kids. The day before the wedding, the weather was absolutely beautiful. These shots are right outside our hotel in front of the Bay Bridge and on the roof of our hotel.




Sweet Adelyn slept through most of the trip. She was a really easy baby while we were gone! Abel, on the other hand, had 1 million questions and took everything in. I am so grateful he can have these experiences. He LOVED the water. He wanted to get in it and he REALLY wanted to know where it was going! The other shot is of Adelyn on our king sized bed. It was a good thing we had it - pretty much every night, we all ended up in it. Once one of them woke up, the other one woke up. Perks to being at a hotel? Someone makes your bed and leaves you chocolates. Non-perks? You're all in the same room!
