The bay area is an amazing and beautiful place to go for a vacation. We enjoyed being there, but I think it is more of a place to go as a couple without children, or if your baby is a newborn or closer to 2 yrs old. Maybe that is just a better time frame in general to travel with a baby. We found it difficult to go to the smaller local restaurants and shops with a stoller. Maybe if you carry your baby in one of those backpack or slings, it would be easier to get around. I found that some people looked at us like we were morons for having a baby and acted as if we would ruin their meal and day. Maybe we just didn't do family friendly activites. I am not one to plan too much ahead and I thought we would just kind of go with the flow like we normally do, but in this case I guess we should've mapped out our day hour by hour. We had a nice time but all in all, we would've been fine with just staying in KC.
