Jack's first flight/vacation

Jack went on his first flight the first weekend of February. It was also his first "real" vacation.  Andrew is working in San Francisco on a project for work- so he offered for us to come out and stay in his 2 bedroom Suite- compliments of being Marriott Platinum status (translates to having to work out of town too much but while there - some pretty great perks including access to the "club lounge" which we took advantage of, and a 2 bedroom/2 bath suite). After making plans to go visit him, Grandma and Grandpa Schaefer decided to join and Megan and Erik were able to meet us out there as well. We had a great time. We got in Thursday evening, spent Friday exploring the piers, Fischerman's Wharf, downtown San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, etc. Saturday we headed to Napa to a few wineries, and Sunday explored Alcatraz, went to lunch at In and Out Burger, and watched the Superbowl. Monday we headed home. Jack did great on both flights -6 hours of traveling each way with a layover- and he never cried once!
