21st Birthday Trip to San Francisco
“This whole trip was a gift from my Mother for my 21st birthday, and she and Mona made it a truly spectacular experience!”
In May of 2026 I went to San Francisco with Mom and Mona, which Mom paid for as a (late) birthday gift to me. We stopped at The Golden Gate Park, The California Academy of Sciences, The Aquarium of the Bay, Fisherman's Wharf, The Exploritorium, The Muir Woods, The Zoo, and spent the last day exploring on GoCars.

Drove down to St. Louis with my Mother, Father, and Brother. Saw the arch, went to the Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and ate lots of good food!
