San Fransisco

The Egan 3 took off to San Francisco on Oct 22 for a wonderful 10 day trip. I was attending a conference in San Fran, so we decided to make a vacation out of it. Unky Mike and Uncle Larry met us out there as well. Uncle Larry lived in San Francisco for a long time, so he was the perfect tour guide! Some highlights included visiting Yosemite National Park, a tour of Alcatraz, Twin Peaks, Pier 39 (I got a little too excited over the sea lions and face planted right on the pier- oops!), Monetary Bay aquarium, and 17 mile drive. Maya was a champ the entire trip! She was adjusted to the time change by the second night (which made me a little nervous for the return to the east coast, but she did ok with that as well). She had a blast playing with Unky Mike and Uncle Larry- highlights for her included a killer game of steam roller with Unky Mike and a pillow. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and it was time for me to start the conference on Oct 27th. Joey found us a fantastic loft to rent in the city, which ended up be the perfect location for us. So, while I was in the conference, Joey and Maya had a lot of quality Daddy/daughter time and Joey had to of walked at least 10 miles a day with her! They would come meet me for lunch everyday. So, we were able to tour a lot of the city during my lunch break: including Fisherman's Wharf, Embarcadaro Center, and the academy of science museum. One of the highlights came the last night we were in San Frances, which happened to be the night before Halloween! We had made it back to our loft after having dinner and I was starting to feed Maya and we heard quite the commotion going on outside our loft. Upon looking outside on our balcony we saw thousands and I'm talking THOUSANDS of people riding their bikes, some in regular clothes, most dressed up for Halloween and some wearing nothing at all lasting a good 20 minutes straight! It was unbelievable and the perfect end to a wonderful trip.
