Day 6 - Tuesday - San Jose Children's Museum and the Ride Home

On our final day in California, we spent the morning packing up. It took a little while longer than expected. Then we had lunch at In and Out Burger. It was tasty and as a restauranteur, my dad was very impressed with the concept. After lunch, we took Kira and Trevor back to the hotel for a nap while my mom, sister, Renee and I went to World Market. I wish we had those stores here.

Kira woke up just before our late-checkout deadline. We had a couple hours to kill before having early dinner, so we went to the Children's Museum. It was a cute little museum. If I lived there I would probably take Kira there once a week. Lots of little things to explore and pretend. And there is even an appropriate area for little babies like Renee. I should go check out the Children's Museum in Boston. I'm sure it's so much better than I remember.

Our flight was at 9pm, so we had dinner at 530 and made it to the airport by 7. The airport was very quiet and everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, the plane ride itself was turbulent, and I barely got any sleep since I was holding Renee. I pretty much pulled an all-nighter on the plane. When we landed in Boston, I was SO tired and my throat was SO sore. We finally got home at about 630 am and I slept until 1230. I'm so thankful that Trevor was so thoughtful to let me rest. He was sick, too.

I think I'm making out this trip to sound like it was horrendously difficult. It was definitely challenging at times, but I'm glad we did it and I enjoyed it. The kids are very young for traveling like this, but we were lucky enough to have my sister and both parents helping us out on the plane and throughout the trip. I love San Francisco, so even while sick and exhausted, it was a treat to see the sights and eat the food. And, I'm very glad that Trevor got to experience the city as he had never been there before. And, as one of my friends said, now we have another badge of parenthood under our belts!
