san fransisco: modes of transportation

i finally sat my hiney down to follow up my initial spring break post, and quickly got overwhelmed with the sheer number of pictures.  so i decided to divvy them up into loose themes.  today's focus?  planes, trains, and automobiles.  (we did take use all three of those to get around; sadly, i have no photo of the subway or uber car, so i'll supplement with other modes of transportation.)

 for susanna's first commercial flight, we had to snap a picture of her in the cockpit.  it's only now that i realize our captain was all of twelve years old

 notice how dark it is?  we boarded that plane at like 6:30 a.m.  but the early departure was so worth it, as it was a direct flight and we were walking around san francisco by late morning

this really doesn't belong in any themed post, as it is a picture of our accommodations ... let's just say we took the STAIRS to get up to our second floor.  we totally lucked out in our first experience with VRBO, winding up with a huge condo with full kitchen and laundry in a great location.  i even taught my 7th grade math class at 6:30 in the morning a few days from the breakfast table

 
we loved the cable cars and rode them every chance we could

y'all.  seriously.  some of the 10,000 roads we hiked were crazy steep

but -- not all are quite so crooked as lombard street

kate got to ride in style, with her two eldest cousins both vying for opportunities to push her stroller

crazy hair day on the boat (see the golden gate bridge the background of this picture?!)
