Last Saturday we took our first road trip as parents, bundling Claire and at least 23 bags of critical essentials into the car and leaving at the crack of 11am for our old stomping grounds in San Francisco. Among other milestones, Claire enjoyed her first drive-thru lunch (though not the In-N-Out Burger her parents had), her first view of the Golden Gate Bridge on a walk at Crissy Field, and meeting her first cousins once-removed, Will and Kim (pictured below). We ended the trip with a dinner from the casual (and parent-friendly) pizzeria sibling of Delfina, one of our favorite restaurants in the city, and some ice cream dessert at the new but already locally famous Bi-Rite Creamery. All in all a fun day!

We’ve also included bonus pictures of Claire visiting her friend Sam (the new baby of our friends Joel and Kristin who is one week younger than Claire) and a few of Claire around the house. Click here or on the photo below for a slideshow.
