California Trip Part 1 - San Francisco 7/14-7/17

Here we go! Our first family trip together started in San Francisco. Aaron did very well on the plane, although he did get bored at times and there were many isolated outbursts :) He did sleep for over an hour at the beginning of the flight though. (whew!) Bear with us... we took a LOT of pictures to document our adventures!




Our first stop was in Milpitas to visit Jik-gong and his family! We had a great time (and a delicious dinner) with Jik-gong, Jim-bo and Raymond. Candace A-yi hardly got a chance to hold Aaron!

Next we spent time with friends in Almeda and Oakland. Thanks to Uncle John and Auntie Sheryle for being such great hosts! It was so great to see everyone... hopefully we can make it back for another trip soon. :)

During our stay, we also made it to Napa for some wine tasting and good food. Aaron was a champ and patiently hung out with us for hours before passing out in the car on the way home.

Homemade picnic at Joey Phelps

Aaron tries out Uncle Kryspin's motorcycle! (Mommy hopes this will be the only time he will
ever be on a motorcycle haha.)

Mommy carried Aaron up and down this hilly path (very cautiously).

On Saturday, we had dim sum with Candace A-yi, Gu-gong and family in Cupertino. The Aarons finally met! Afterwards we had bubble tea and smoothies. :) Thanks for the great pics Candace a-yi!!

Our last stop of the trip was at Celeste's wedding. We all had a great time and Aaron made some new friends at our table. After all the action during the day, Aaron fell asleep sitting up while Daddy was eating his salad... and didn't wake up for the rest of the night! We headed home early to catch our flight to LA the next morning!

Between the wedding and reception, we finally got a video of Aaron's super tired crazy laugh. :) Enjoy!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful time! We hope to see you all again soon...
