We had a business meeting to attend in San Francisco, so we snuck Braden along for the trip. San Francisco is filled with culture, attractions & history. However, Braden was most excited & somewhat obsessed with the taxis...yep, as in the cabs that commonly provide transportation around the busy city. As we rode around in taxis, he'd try to spot as many other taxis as he could. He got only slightly distracted once by a large group of naked people protesting BP...not something we see very often in our sleepy, little suburbia.
As a practical parent, I packed books to occupy Braden on the flight. Matt brought a box of Legos with a thousand pieces....they successfully built a Lego boat and didn't drop even a single piece!
This is a look of glory on the face of a kid who just beat his dad in air hockey!
Another activity Braden tried while visiting Fisherman's Wharf was the bungee jumper. He got to jump on a trampoline really high and even got assistance in doing some back flips. 
Braden wanted to pose with the pirate so he could give us his best "Aaargh!"
Braden wanted to stand next to this bird for a picture. What's not so obvious is the bird beneath this one who just got pooped on...very funny for a 3-year-old.
Aaaah, to be 3 again....Braden wasn't thrilled with all the walking that was entailed in our excursion. Who wouldn't want to just ride on Dad's shoulders?! Actually, he probably would've liked to take a taxi tour of the attractions instead. 
We walked by hundreds of sea lions several times because Braden was hoping to see one eaten by a shark. Matt tried to explain that the water was shark-infested and that is why Alcatraz was built nearby. We never saw a shark and Braden was quite disappointed.
We enjoyed spending time with our good friends, the Odubelas. They treat Braden like they treat their own kids, and Braden doesn't mind being spoiled at all!
Braden was exhausted after his vacation...once again, he rode through the airport in style.
