Welcome

Welcome!

This is a blog headed up by a genuine San Francisco Bay Area stay at home dad. We'll explore the bay area and beyond, review cool or not so cool places to go and things to do, visit restaurants and review products.

I'm JT and I am currently the primary caregiver of Bea, a whily 18 month old girl born and in the process of being raised right here in San Francisco.

A little pertinent background:

We are a family of three. Mommy, Daddy and Bea. We live in the heart of San Francisco near Grace Cathedral in a small urban apartment. We walk all over the city and beyond using our trusty Bob stroller and Kelty backpack carrier. We do not own a car but rent them on occasion for road trips. Bea and I travel by plane some but as a family we almost always go by car or train. You'll be getting the lowdown on that stuff too. I, JT, am home with Bea but am also a freelance photographer and writer as well as being a grad student working on my MFA.

This blog came about because I feel like there are relatively few resources specifically targeted at dads and even less for dads who are primary caregivers. Times they are a changing and dads have different needs as well as demands both from society and their families.

So, welcome again and feel free to write and let us know if there are places we should see, things we ought to check out or even questions you might want us to explore.

Pre-Launch Greetings!

Hey there,

this is the official first post of the Bay Area Dad blog!

More of a hello and and introduction than an action packed, informative post, we wanted to make sure we had something on the web before taking off on yet another adventure (a solo airplane trip with just Dad and Miss Bea).

We have a million and one things planned to explore and share. We're already visiting fun places, food places, parks and adventure spots in and around the Bay area as well as beyond. We'll have a great review of the Redwoods up north and the latest about TSA antics and traveling to the Midwest soon. We're also writing up fun activities, great(and maybe not so great) products for both baby and dad.

This blog is written primarily by and for stay at home dad's. Sort of the guys perspective on at least one version of modern parenting that doesn't quite get the amount of press, attention and sometimes credit we think it deserves.

...that's all to follow soon and we're happy you've found us in time for the launch of our latest endeavor.

We have so much planned and hope to have lots of great things on offer as we find sponsors and contributors in the coming months!
