We had a great trip and wished that we could have stayed another day or so. We were able to see so many things and Maggie was the best vacationer in the world.
We started our vacation off with a trip to the Golden Gate Bridge and you can't really understand how big it is until you walk on it.

We continued seeing San Francisco our first day by going to the Yerba Buena Gardens that were across the street from our hotel. They have a lot of room for little kids to run around and a carousel that was built in 1906. Maggie had a blast.

We concluded our first day by driving through Little Italy and going down the famous Lombard Street...the curviest street in the US. It was really curvy.
Day two started off with a trip to the San Francisco Zoo where we saw giraffes, gorillas and played on the Family Farm. We went shopping in Union Square in the afternoon and went back to Little Italy for dinner...yummy.

On our third day in San Francisco we woke up to rain. Now keep in mind, that we really don't get to see real rain. This was real rain folks, like you needed an umbrella rain. The rain wasn't going to stop us so we went to the Ferry Building Marketplace and Farmers Market. It was full of gourmet food stores and we had the best lunch at a French bistro. After we filled up on lunch and dessert we headed down to Pier 39 and the Aquarium of the Bay.

After a good nap and the rain ending we ventured into Chinatown for our last night in San Francisco. Maggie tried to experience the best of China and the US by using both chopsticks and a fork at dinner.

As you can see we had a great time in San Francisco. We would love to go back one day. We had a nice weekend back home and did a little container gardening (Maggie loved playing in the dirt- of course).
Also, baby David was able to go home on Friday. He is doing very good and keeping his parents up at night, as newborns should.
