Girls Weekend

Jill, Maddy, and I went to San Francisco this weekend. Originally we had planned on going because Jill had signed up to run in the annual women's marathon and had been picked from the lottery to run. She booked a hotel many months ago and we put it in our calendars. But due to this terrible cold season she had come down with a stubborn head cold. So our plan changed... we decided to go up there anyway and check out the marathon expo and enjoy a girls weekend. We drove up on Friday night and arrived about 11:30 pm. Maddy slept almost the entire way. As a consequence she was wide awake at midnight when Jill and I were ready to go to sleep. Other than her sleep pattern being disturbed she was a fabulous traveler. We hauled her around in the Baby Bjorn. She waited in line with us as we waited for free manicures and massages at the expo. She even took her nap in the Baby Bjorn while I tried on shoes at Niketown. She rode in her first bus and taxi during the trip and she ate for the second time at pier 39. All in all we had a wonderful weekend.

I fed Maddy while we waited in line for Manicures.

This was the outside of the Expo tent.

Maddy was just relaxing while I received a foot massage.

Jill took over carrying Maddy after we went into Macy's.

Jill's name is in the middle on the fifth row.

Poor Maddy had to take her nap in her Baby Bjorn while I tried on shoes at Niketown.

This is at the top of our hotel. We stayed at Club Quarters and this is the view from the sun deck.
