Let's start sharing some of these San Fran 2017 pics!

I took selfies with both kids. I think those two photos
(included in this post) are my favorite photos from the
trip. My son is going to be a handsome man, like his
Grandpa Boyd, I can tell...
Well we've been back for a few weeks now... guess I need to start sharing some family vacation picks before they get lost in the fold!


(I mean, really... I posted photos of the garage before I posted pics from San Fran? Poor form.)

It was another great trip to San Fran. This was our second trip as a family, the first coming in 2015. We stayed at Uncle Rick's house again. (Need to get that thank you card in the mail ASAP!)


I love this photo too. Evey looks so happy, and Grandma Judy is just chill, happy
to be along for the ride... even though she's done this cruise tour who knows how
many times!

This is the selfie I took with Evey, from the top of Twin Peaks. I proposed doing
a "Talkin' Tracks" from there, but Mom nixed it, maybe because the spot I proposed
had a shrine to someone who had died up there not too far away...

I'm not going to lie, I was not excited to go to HIRO SUSHI for dinner, and I
did point out to Adrianne that if we were in, say, Wheatfield, Ind., and I told
her that we were going to meet my cousins at a sushi place... Adrianne would
have stayed home (not that Wheatfield would have a sushi place, ever.) But it
was a fun experience and while not my preferred spot to eat ever, great to see
her cousins and happy that they were excited to see me and the kids...
We were there for seven days. Direct flight from KC to Oakland. Left Friday morning early, arrived at Rick's by 3 p.m. or so (if memory serves) and then on the way home, a comfortable trip... on the road by 8 a.m. PST, direct flight, home by 7 p.m. CST.

We went back to Golden Gate Park by Evey's request (I think that was one of her highlights of the trip again) and we also returned to the California Museum of the Sciences.
We never took a trolley ride last time, so we fixed that this time. It was interesting
enough. Don't really need to do it again. I like getting where I'm trying to get.
But it was fun to do as a family. Boyd fell asleep on the last five minutes...
he had a knack for falling asleep at everything we did. I think Judy has about ten
photos of him asleep at various locations. Last time we came, we brought a stroller,
this time I was Boyd's human stroller...
We also took a trolley ride for the first time, visited the kid's museum, the Exploratorium, for the first time, and spent a day driving down to Pacifica and hanging out with Adrianne's cousins.

Adro and I also snuck in a date, we went to a bar called Holy Water that had a religious theme. That was a highlight of the trip for me!

Oh, and we caught a Giants game. Versus the Cubbies, reigning World Series champs. Because you know how we do.

More photos to come!
