USA, California 2009 - days 17 - 18 in San Francisco

We arrive back in San Francisco and check into the Holiday Inn where dad has his conference. We are surprised at how cold it is, but luckily on our last two days the 'Fog City' does treat us with lots of sunshine.

One of Sofie's favourite games is peek a boo. We say 'Where is Sofie' after which she promptly hides behind the closest thing available. See this
video.


Another favourite game is playing catch. Her dad says Sofie has a good eye for the ball and I think he plans some serious tennis matches with her in the future.

Lombard street in San Francisco is really famous so we thus have to visit. On one section of this street their are 8 sharp swings on a 100 m stretch of road and this has made the street famous.












After this we head to Ashbury-Haight street area. This is a Hippie paradise so definitely a spot mum wanted to see.

Sofie was dressed appropriately in a very 'flower power' dress. Notice the bow in her hair. Something we have started doing as we have grown tired of people saying 'what a precious little BOY!!' when they see her.


Sofie has finally learned how to wave to people and now politely waves to everyone we meet.


Rolly-polly on the bed is Sofie's main sport just now and the clothes on the bed are all the new clothes we bought her at the Califorian outlets. prices were around a fifth of what the equivalent labels would cost in Denmark.

The next day Dad had an appointment at Stanford University mum & Sofie went along as we were curious to see this highly prestigious university.

The old entrance to the university.

After sightseeing at the university mum was dying for a coffee so went to the mall close by to find a Starbucks. This is a photo of Sofie when she finally woke up.


















After Dad finished his talk and meeting we all went back into town to walk over the Golden Gate bridge. Check out this video of the view as we approach.


This is the view from the top of the bridge. Admittedly I was really spooked by the height and the fact the cars on the bridge were so close to us.

After our walk we went out to a local Vietnamese restaurant. Here Sofie and dad look at the menu.

The next day dad had to speak at a Bio-Science conference so Sofie and mum relaxed at the hotel. Before we knew it was time to go to the airport.

We had a great flight and Sofie slept 10.5 of the 12 hour flight in the crib supplied by the airline. In Munich we however parted ways with dad who continued to a conference in Vienna. In this photo dad waves to Sofie.

















Kiss goodbye for dad who had a direct flight to Vienna.
















Mum & Sofie had 5 hours in transit and when we finally arrived in Kastrup at 23.40 we were pretty busted as can be seen in this photo taken with mums mobile.


















This was the baggage that mum had to carry home along with baby Sofie!!!! Pretty extreme.




















We got to bed at 1 am and Sofie slept 13 hours straight. In this photo she looked quite refreshed but the spark went out at 3 pm at which time she had another nap until 6.30 pm.
A GREAT TRIP !!
