[Watch a video of Anna's favorite thing to do (ignore parental Mickey Mouse-esque voices, please!).]
Today we took the bus out to the Marina District to do a walking tour suggested by the guidebook we used for this trip (San Francisco with Kids). We had a really good time but it rained a bit on us on and off. Anna actually slept in until 6:45 AM (8:45 Houston time!) which got us off to a great start to the day. Since she hasn't been sleeping when I've been putting her down for a morning nap for the past several weeks at home we decided to just try putting her down for one nap today.
We saw the Golden Gate Bridge and saw some cool neighborhoods and had a great lunch at The Grove. Our lunch was about $30 for two sandwiches, a muffin (blueberry, for Anna--she loved it!), an ice tea, and a bottle of water. Ouch! This city is not cheap, but at least we knew that going in!
We made it back to our hotel a little after 12 and Anna took an awesome nap for us. She woke up super crabby though, so we decided to try out the backpack carrier on a short trip from the hotel (not straying too far in case of a major meltdown). She did well and actually liked the carrier. It was better for getting out in the rain because all three of us fit under the umbrella and Anna wasn't as cold (and neither was I!).
So, we met Courtney & Tim for coffee and then an early dinner, and got Anna to bed by 6:20 PM. She slept better the second night which was really great. Grandma Adele arrived later in the evening and we made our plans for Saturday!
