Brennan's Fall Vacation


Hi there! Mommy had so many pictures of Halloween & the Pumpkin Patch she couldn't wait to post, so now I'm finally getting a chance to tell you about my big trip. First, we went to Atlanta, to see friends and check on our house on Glenwood Ave. I had lots of fun playing with Mommy's friends. Auntie Kris taught me how fun it is to stick food in grown-ups' mouths, and I'm still doing it! Thanks, Auntie Kris! We did all sorts of things - swimming at the YMCA, breakfast at the Flying Biscuit, and a night tour at Oakland Cemetary. I liked running around the cemetary until I tripped on a tricky brick and bumped my face. Mommy let me stay up past bedtime and have extra fruit, so I was OK, and I looked like a tough guy for the next week.



Then we went north to Michigan. I was a very good boy on the flight, because I was asleep the entire way. We went to the beach Mommy used to go to when she was little, but it was too cold for swimming. I had a good time with Gangi on the swings, though.


I had fun meeting 2 Barbaras - my Great Grandma and Mommy's cousin - and it was good to play with Grandpa Marsall again. I supervised his work on the deck, too. And I grew 2 new molars while I was there!


Then it was time to come back to San Francisco. It was so nice the day after Halloween that I took Gangi to brunch in Marin, at Fort Baker, a converted military base just on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. I ate lots and lots of bread, then ran around on the parade grounds. I'd like to come back with my new (newly installed) bike seat and ride around, but Mommy is still afraid of hills and needs a bike rack, so we can drive to places that are flat. I'll try to not be such a crab about my helmet if we can go more. Maybe.
