San Francisco 2008

Here are some pictures from our trip to San Francisco. The two weeks went by so fast, and we had a lot of fun showing Jackson a whole new world. Stepping back into the 100 degree weather is enough to make all of us have California withdrawls, but it has been nice to be home and catch up on rest. Jackson has been sleeping in an extra hour, so I am soaking up that trend until he gets back to his normal schedule. Other than that we are getting back in the swing of things and gearing up for our next trip...we will be going with my mom, brother, and sister-in-law to Colorado this coming weekend. It is a lot of traveling in one month, but we want to get some restful vacation in before Brandon starts school in August. Here are the pics...

Jackson's first airplane experience went well. We had a direct flight to San Francisco from San Antonio, so it was pretty smooth. He of course made friends with the people all around us and had all kinds of fun grabbing the stuffed animals that the little girl behind us had brought.




















We don't have a bathtub in our place in SA, so this was his first bath as well...needless to say he loved it and would stay in there forever if I let him!

Jackson napping in the car with Matt's GPS on the drive up the coast.


Jackson's first trip to the beach here at Stinson Beach just north of San Francisco...he loved everything about it.







Brandon put his feet in the ocean and Jackson did pretty well with it even though it was chilly.






The real fun started when we let him go in his diaper...he was crawling around so fast and throwing sand all over the place. Obviously we have a beach baby!





Jackson's new past time involves pulling everything out of our drawers and/or climbing in and out of them.
Wine tasting in Sonoma Valley.







We went hiking in Muir woods and Jackson was rotated back and forth as we went.

Matt takes a turn.

We ate at the Crab House on Fisherman's Warf one night and although it was chilly, it was beautiful on the bay.
