\"toby<\/p>\n

This year, Toby and Anton are in different schools, so they have different spring breaks, for the first time ever. The silver lining was that we could take one-on-one trips, which felt really special. Last week, Toby and I went to San Francisco to visit our family\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Lucy<\/p>\n

As soon as we arrived, we beelined to my sister Lucy\u2019s<\/a> house. How cute is she?<\/p>\n

\"niece\"<\/p>\n

My niece and I have a long tradition of playing Block Blast while chatting about everything\/nothing in particular; so after taking an evening walk and eating pasta for dinner, we did just that.<\/p>\n

\"sutro<\/p>\n

The next day, Toby and I went to Sutro Baths, the former public indoor swimming pool complex. The fresh ocean air felt so good on our faces.<\/p>\n

\"escape<\/p>\n

We also got this cool comic book<\/a> to bring home to Anton.<\/p>\n

\"packing<\/p>\n

Separately, since we\u2019ve talked about packing<\/a> a lot in the past, I was happy with my packing strategy! Mostly black, white, cream, gray, and blue, so everything was mix and match. Pictured here: jacket<\/a>, shirt<\/a>, jeans<\/a>, and similar loafers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We borrowed my sister\u2019s car to get around, but one afternoon, just for fun, we took a self-driving Waymo. Watching the steering wheel turn on its own is trippy at first but soon feels VERY safe \u2014\u00a0Waymos are basically like A+ students, who come to a full roll-back stop at every stop sign. My brother-in-law Jeevan told me that he once saw a line of 10 Waymos patiently following a garbage truck up a hill without even attempting to go around, haha.<\/p>\n

\"toby\"<\/p>\n

We were lucky enough to see some friends, like Julia<\/a> and her toddler daughter\u2026<\/p>\n

\"toby\"<\/p>\n

\u2026who gazed at teenager Toby like he was the world\u2019s biggest celebrity. <\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

We also went to a Warriors game with some pals.<\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

A real nail-biter\u2026<\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

\u2026but they pulled off a 109-106 victory in the final MINUTE.<\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

\"warriors<\/p>\n

Also, how cool is this jacket???? The guy wearing it told me it was made by Elias Guting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Lombard<\/p>\n

The next day, Toby and I walked along the water, explored the Ferry Building, and drove down twisty Lombard Street (hard to capture in photos!).<\/p>\n

\"kalanithis\"<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we had dinner with the cousins\u2026<\/p>\n

\"toby<\/p>\n

\u2026and did a quick height check. As I took this photo, Dr. Kalanithi asked, \u201cAre we the same?????\u201d to which I replied, \u201cNot even a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"California<\/p>\n

Finally, we said goodbye and flew home, stepping over this dude\u2019s foot every time we had to get up lol. It was such a joyous trip and we felt so, so lucky to be able to see everyone. California, we love you!<\/p>\n

Where does your family live? Close by or far away? How do you stay in touch? My sister and I also do five-minute phone calls<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. Past California trips<\/a>, and what it\u2019s like to be twins<\/a>.<\/p>\n
