San Francisco

 

 We spent our Labor Day weekend in the lovely city by the bay. It was FANTASTIC to get out of this heat and actually wear jackets AND boots! 

 Jackson got to see all of the beautiful sights the city has to offer....

 

 And even see a neat prison by the name of Alcatraz. Maybe you've heard of it? ;) 

 Here he is saying 'hola piedra!' (aka 'The Rock')

 And here I am in solitary confinement (literally) trying my hardest to make him fall asleep after he threw multiple fits in his stroller. Jack tells me the audio tour was riveting and I really missed out. Thanks doll.

 Apparently I was going about the nap thing all wrong. Our cub only takes naps in tour buses. No. Really. If you have any historical questions about San Francisco, Jack and I are now experts!

 We celebrated napping success at dinner with strong drinks--water for the boy and a 'Barbarella' for yours truly (in case you were wondering). Salud!

We surprised Jackson at dinner with his friend, Samaya (and her parents of course). They happened to be in San Francisco at the same time we were and even stayed at our same hotel! The boy was sooooo happy to see her...

They had such a great time together that we took them to Golden Gate Park the next day and they played together all morning long. 

I'm fairly certain this kid LOVED San Francisco. From the taxis, to the boats, to the trolleys--our boy had a great time and most definitely left his heart in San Francisco.
