First view of San Francisco Bridge
June 27 through July 5, we went to the San Francisco area for vacation. It was my first time there. We stayed in San Francisco briefly before heading out to Monterey and Santa Cruz. There was quite a bit of driving and we saw and did much in a short amount of time. We stayed in 4 different places, so at times it seemed we were constantly packing and unpacking, resulting in some crankiness from me. My husband and I got into a debate about whether it’s best to see and do as much as possible or to relax as much as possible, keep things simple and really try to get to know an area. I wanted to settle into an area and he wanted to see as much as possible. In the end, he seemed to appreciate my view more and I couldn’t help appreciating all the nice pictures I ended up with as a result of seeing and doing a lot.
It was our first real vacation with Maya. She struggled some being in the car for too long and got more formula than she had thus far while we toured. Colin got a chance to get a taste of sailing before his week-long sailing camp in Denver.

He went on a trip through the Monterey Aquarium and then through another outfit in Santa Cruz, which I joined the family on. We had gone on a whaling trip two days prior that had not worked out well for me as I got very sea sick. I assumed as a result that I could not be on boats. So having a successful sailing trip gave me hope for future time on boats.
While Colin and Porter were on the first sailing trip in Monterey, Maya and I explored the gorgeous area with her in the stroller.
It was perfect weather, with great gardening sights and historical sites such as the first theatre. Afterwards, before heading to our rented townhome, we came upon a farmer’s market in the tranquil town of Pacific Grove, where I picked up an organic strawberry, which was Maya’s first.
