We took our first road trip as a family of three over Thanksgiving weekend to the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito and Mt Tamalpais. We already had fond memories of this place from the time we biked across the bridge for my birthday a couple years back.
Traveling with a newborn was simpler than I initially thought it would be. We were lucky enough to catch Noah at an age where he's old enough to be content in the car seat, young enough to not really know he's being fed or getting his diaper changed in the car, and still happy and light enough to be carried everywhere in a wrap. And oddly enough for me, it was surprisingly a really nice change of pace from our little one bedroom apartment to breastfeed with an ocean view or scenic lookout of San Francisco with fresh crisp air coming through the window.
Also not going to lie though- we did get lost a million times trying to find the trail we wanted to take at Mt. Tam, had our share of fights caused by hangriness, motion sickness, and frustration from carrying a million things at once at all times but never knowing where anything was, and worried about Noah incessantly. But I wouldn't have had it any other way and am so glad we did it!
