I Left My Heart

We spent last week in San Francisco in a little garage apartment in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. We stumbled upon the place on vrbo and really lucked out on the location. We had access to the backyard with a sandbox, two basketball hoops and a kid pool. There was a park on the same block and we could walk down to the marina in just about 20 minutes. I could have stayed another couple of months but Garett had house projects on the brain and was ready to get home. He always gets creative when we're in a city and he's looking forward to bringing his sketches and ideas to life.
Here's a rundown of the trip (According to a friend, it's a trip rather than a vacation when we bring Wyatt along.):

- Golden Gate Park(Koret Children's Quarter and California Academy of Sciences) and the Ferry Building twice (A Blue Bottle latte is the gold standard.)
- Cable cars and the bus
- Irish coffee at the Buena Vista Club
- The zoo with my parents and brother
- Finding miraculously amazing parking spots on the same block as our place every single day (I was reminded of living in Chicago and the thrill of backing into a coveted spot perfectly on the first try.)
- Exceptional meals at Slanted Door, Burma Superstar, Pan E Vino, and La Boulange
- Leisurely soaking up art at SFMOMA while Wyatt spent a day with his grandparents
- Walking, walking, walking

Wyatt seemed to really like San Francisco. It might have had something to do with the number of garbage truck sightings or the fact that three different servers brought him free ice cream at the end of his meal. His flexibility still amazes me and I have a lot to learn from him in that way.

Here are a few shots from the week:
