Before heading to Italy we made a short stopover in San Francisco to meet up with my parents and my brother’s family unit. We helped out the local tourism and shared economies by Lyfting our way from the AirBnb’s to the piers and back. A few highlights included some first-timers seeing the Golden Gate Bridge, pedal-boating in Golden Gate Park, local food, Alcatraz and most importantly getting some face time with our rapidly growing niece, Nola. She’s not talking yet but has discovered an adorable way to communicate with us that might be described as the cutest pro wrestler ever trying to pump up the local fans. I think that’s what I’ll remember most from this trip. Next time I see her she’ll probably be walking. 🕐✈️

Number of waterfowl that bit my mom: zero. I can’t think of a better measure of success.
