San Francisco

Sofia and I went to San Francisco last week to visit the city and my best friends in the world. We stayed at Kyle's house, hung out with Samantha and met baby Roxy, had dinner with Michelle, and I was the matron of honor in Christina's wedding. It was a wonderful week! Jim and Nana met us in Tiburon on Friday, and for the rest of the weekend Sofia hung out with Nana so Jim and I could be at the wedding without distraction. It was a blast, probably the most fun I have had at a wedding since my own. And while we were in the city, Sofia and I did some shopping, we went to Stow Lake to feed the ducks and look at turtles, we went to the best tot lot ever in Golden Gate Park, road the carousel, and went out to dinner every night with friends.
I miss the city, I really do, but after being there with my baby... I'm glad I live in the 'burbs. We took every single form of public transportation on the way there... we flew to Oakland, took a bus to the bart station, took BART (subway) into the city, then hailed a cab to Kyle's house. And mind you, I had two large suitcases, a carseat, a diaper bag and a purse AND a sleeping 24 pound toddler strapped to my chest via my sling. I don't know how I did it. I think my pride kept me afloat... "I can do this. I spent five years in the city. I can do this." ahhhh... it's good to be back. And next time we go, I'm hiring a driver to pick me up.
