Tori and I first met in San Francisco and ever since I talked her into moving away from there (for a small town in East Texas, no less!), she's been trying to talk me into moving back to what she calls "the greatest city on earth." Although I love San Francisco, it's almost hard to visit because Tori gets so obsessed with planning our future life there (especially if we happen to visit during beautiful weather). Still, she talked me into spending our four-day Labor Day weekend there.
I wasn't positive how it was going to go since we've never really experienced the greatest city on earth with three kids in tow, but Tori had a secret weapon. She convinced my nephew Nick, who goes to school at San Francisco State, to spend every single minute of the long weekend with us. Nick is not only a great person to spend time with, but also happens to be the best helper in the world. It was like we had a full-time assistant with us. Thank you, Nick!!
Highlights of the trip were sunny days at Mission Dolores Park (Tori's all-time favorite spot in the city), a date night at the sushi restaurant where we had our very first date nine years ago, and catching up with old friends.

| Nick and Tori are always so cute together. I'm a little jealous because she's a much more fun auntie than I am! |

This looks like it was such a great trip, and I'm so jealous you got to hang with Nick for three days!
