Our fourth and last morning in San Francisco was reserved for America's Cup races. We started our day, though, with brunch at Presidio Social Club before walking to Marina Green to watch the boats.

When we got to the water we noticed that there really wasn't a crowd. After a little Google-ing we figured out that the Italian team was boycotting while awaiting the final verdict on some newly implemented safety regulations. The New Zealand team still did the course in order to get a point so we at least got to see one boat.
After the one boat race we stopped by the America's Cup Village at Marina Green to look around.
After browsing (and buying P a t-shirt) we walked to Ghirardelli for a snack. Yes, this was our second trip there.
And then rode a cable car to Union Square.
We debated about what to do next (and even changed our minds about destinations in the cab a couple of times) but decided to bike through Golden Gate Park. We had 1 hour to bike 6 miles. With hills. And a few picture breaks. We made it! Barely.

| Yes, I am on a child's bike. The bike originally assigned to Ryan had a flat tire. Since we were pressed for time we couldn't wait around for them to fix it so we had to take the kid's bike. I ended up on this one first and then Ryan switched with me. I think we both agreed that it was much harder on the mini bike. :) |
So, our first trip away without Parker was a success- for us and him! We ended up getting home Monday a little earlier than originally scheduled due to the plane that crashed while landing in San Francisco on Saturday (we were able to change our flight to leave from Oakland free of charge since there was a travel advisory) and it was nice to be back in our normal routine as a little family.
