Friday: checking out the Redwoods in the rain, touring the Korbel and Sterling vineyards (picked up a bottle of celebratory champagne for once baby girl comes) and enjoying a Thai feast prepared by our hosts.
Saturday: nature day at beautiful, but chilly, Bodega Bay and then an off-the-itinerary drive to the Golden Gate bridge and dinner in Sausalito!
Sunday: was spent in the big city, riding a cable car, eating at Fisherman's Wharf, looking at stinky sea lions, shopping and my first In-and-Out burger experience!
Monday: On our way to the airport, we drove through Muir Forest and jumped out for a quick peek at the Muir Beach overlook - really, really gorgeous.
So many pictures were taken during our trip that I had to condense it to some favorites. (click on the slideshow to read full captions and see bigger images.)
Such a fun trip, sorry it took us so long to do it! Ben was enthralled with Aunt "Dess" and Uncle "Motmo" and still lights up when we mention them. He also was an amazing little traveler, once again - enduring looooong plane rides, adjusting to the time change, sleeping in a borrowed pack-n-play, and napping on the go!
We'll miss Michael but are looking forward to seeing Jess again in less than a week...could get used to these once-a-month visits!

Ahh! Sorry it took me so long to comment. It was definitely a highlight of the year to have you guys come out, and to show you all of favorite places, but mostly just to spend time together.
Ben was certainly a good traveler, but really all three of you were for making such a long journey for a quick trip. Thanks so much for making it happen- it meant the world to us.
See you SOON (next week-yay!)

PS "Babby" says "sorry Ben" for the few knock-downs. She just gets so excited.
How did I leave Abby out?! I'll have to find a good picture or video of them playing - they were hilarious.
Zoe would've been so jealous.
