First Flight with Ripley

In mid-May— Ripley took his first flight to visit San Francisco. We had no idea what to expect, but he was relatively good! We didn’t get any awful looks on the plane ride, so that we will take that as a win!

The flight and trip are a blur at this point, but I wanted to post some of the trip photos. We did not do all that much, but what we did do, we had fun!

His first flight ever was from San Diego to Oakland on Spirit Airlines. He was about 9 weeks old when we took this flight, so we needed to start flying with him as he was already behind. To make our life easier, I upgraded all of us to the Big Front seats just to make sure if he was horrible we could quickly escape the plane!

We stayed at Grant’s aunt Kate’s place, which is in the heart of North Beach, like normal. Ripley enjoyed her place and especially liked his fort / tent.

I walked around with Ripley alot as I wanted him to be outside as much as possible to get fresh air. We explored North Beach, Chinatown, and other areas.

Later that day, we went to the Museum of Modern Art and saw the Yayoi Kusama Infinite Love exhibit.

The baby slept most of the museum, and I think that was a good thing as Grant kept thinking that his shirt looked like the paintings.

That evening, we decided to go to our favorite restaurant in SF— Tony’s Pizza. Ripley enjoyed the company so much that he did his favorite activity — sleep.

We ended the trip with a group photo near the water. Lovely trip and am looking forward to many more with this kiddo!
