Upon arrival on Friday, we checked into Hotel Vital, ordered room service {because that's what we do now with a baby}, had a little rest and then headed off to SoMa street eats for Quinn's School Bus birthday. It was a food truck park that had a birthday bus in the back where we ate and hung out. Super cute! Mark and Rach came back to the hotel to hang out with us for a bit before calling it a night.
The next morning we woke up and headed to the Ferry Building to check out the farmer's market. It was a beautiful day out in SF so made the morning so much better. I got my blue bottle coffee, porchetta roll, hog island oysters, and a bun from Out the Door! Yes, I was being a pig because we don't get this kind of food in Bakersfield.
Right after we finished up at the farmer's market, Rachelli, set up an afternoon tea at Darjeetling for the moms and baby girls. I haven't had an afternoon tea in a while so this was a treat. Thank goodness Ella was sleeping most of the time so I could actually enjoy it. And also, thank goodness for Mother in laws who will hold your baby while you chat and sip tea. It felt good to get out and feel like a normal person =)
That evening, instead of going out like we normally would, we invited our friends over to our hotel room to chat and catch up. They brought over whisky and wine and we just talked. It was a nice change to the typical outing we would have. Ella slept the entire time which allowed us to have adult conversations...hehe.
We headed to the Golden Gate Bridge on Sunday so Ella and Kylie could take pictures in front of it for their 1st SF trip and then hit the road back to Bako. I call it a successful 1st road trip with the baby and can't wait to take many more trips with her. Gerald and I have a weekend planned for Mammoth with her the first weekend of March so hopefully she will be just as well behaved.
