We love visiting friends and family up in the bay area. What we don't like is all the stuff we have to go through in order to ride the airplane. I know it's for our own good but when you have 2 kids with strollers, 4 pairs of shoes, carry on lugagge with Jack's prescription formula, laptop, breathing machine, jackets.. I can go on all day. Between the 4 of us, I think we had about a dozen bins.
Tito Billy and Tita Flora picked us up from the Oakland Airport. We then proceeded to stuff ourselves at the World Buffet close to the hotel. They also were so nice to lend us their suburban so we didn't have to rent a car that will fit all of us. They also had a friend at the Chase Suites Hotel so we got a 2 bedroom suite for a steal. We love family!!!!
Our first day was spent at the Academy of Sciences at the Golden Gate Park. That is one impressive science museum. It had a little bit of everything so both the boys had fun. Mommy had a quick dinner with Tita Carmen that night, too. The following day was spent visiting friends around the area. Ryan made us promise that we are going to visit all of them again because he loved playing with all the kids. Sunday was for family and we saw tons!!! Jack was a little overwhelmed with it but Ryan loved the attention and all the playmates.
All in all, it was a fun but tiring trip. We will definitely do it again soon!
