California!

Last weekend, Bob and I had the awesome opportunity to go to San Fransico and wine country (almost) for free! It was an opportunity that came up pretty suddenly through Bob's office. And lucky for us, Grandma and Grandfather were willing to come back up here to watch the kids. They'd just been here, so they basically just turned around and drove back!

So after a fun birthday night on the town for Bob on Friday (a Seinfeld show and a fancy steak dinner with the Cahoons), we went to the airport bright and early Saturday morning. Breakfast at Logan airport, then lunch next to the Bay Bridge.



We had Saturday afternooon to explore San Francisco and we had a gorgeous day for it. We didn't even see any of the fog we'd heard so much about.



We spent the afternoon walking around the waterfront, then took a cable car back to the hotel. We got to ride standing up on the outside of the car. It didn't feel entirely safe, especially when another cable car passed going in the other direction, but it was so much fun!



On Sunday, we took a ride across the harbor to a nearby town (Tiberon) for brunch. It was another beautiful day!



After brunch, we hit the road for our next destination, Sonoma. On the way, we stopped (and took a hair raising bus ride) to visit Muir Woods to see the giant redwood trees.



On Monday morning, Bob had to work a little bit to earn our keep. Then in the afternoon we met up for a vineyard tour and wine tasting.



On Tuesday morning, it was back to the airport.



Grandma and Grandfather did a great job of holding the fort down while we were away. Grandma even channelled her inner architect at Kids Build.



I think everyone had a fun weekend!
