Planet Pacheco: Bonjour San Francisco

Jake, Mike and I travelled to San Francisco last week(end). We got to spend time with my dad and his wife Shelley, and our cousins, the Ohayons (whom we ADORE) visiting from France. We arrived late Thursday night after a 9 hour drive.This was our first roadtrip with baby Jake. It went reasonably well...We made several stops along the way so that he could stretch his little legs. My favorite stop was Andersons Pea Soup, a truckstop about 2.5 hours outside of the city.

We had so much fin visiting all of the touristy attractions. It's such an odd feeling to be a tourist in your own state!? Highlights included; Fishermans Wharf, Pier 30, Lombard Street, China Town, Market Street, Union Square, the Exploratoriam (museum), and Sausalito to name a few. We also rode a cable car from Market street all the way to Fishermans Wharf. We also got to cross both the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate bridge, which are tremendous to say the least.

Jake has dveloped an obsession with balloons. You will notice he as one in many photos. He also loves semi-trucks, fire trucks and busses. (I am hoping down the line, that translates to a career designing large vehicles, and not being a truck driver.)
We really had a great time...we survived on of my big fears...a roadtrip with a toddler.

Here are just some of the pics we took...
