Weekend Away (30 months)

We spent a weekend on a farm in Sebastopol with Nana & Papa this past weekend. On the way up, we stopped at Mrs. Grossman's sticker factory in Petaluma AND Train Town in Sonoma. While Jack enjoyed the train ride, his favorite ride was the scrambler! On the farm, we ate fresh eggs for breakfast and picked veggies to cook for dinner. Although, Jack thought it would have been better to just give our fresh picked potatoes to the guys at In-n-Out to make us some fries! In Sebastopol, Jack chose to spend the day at a toy store, a park/playground, and a bee farm to learn how they make honey. We ended the weekend with a day in Bodega Bay for fun at the beach and a delicious lunch at Spud Point Crab Company (where Jerry & Jack opted for the tri tip).

This fast ride made Doug a bit ill, but Jack just loved it!

1st Camping Trip (29 months)

We took Jack on his 1st camping trip at Butano State Park in Pescadero. He loved it all--playing with Zoe, running around the giant redwoods, cooking outside, sleeping (and playing) in a tent, the campfire, making (and eating) s'mores, and getting filthy! While in Pescadero, we also took a tour of cheese making at a goat farm, picked strawberries, and had lunch at the beach. What a beautiful area!

G-ville (29 months)

Jack enjoyed our 2nd annual weekend trip to Guerneville up on the Russian River. There were 10 families with kids aged 0-4. Some of the highlights were swimming in the river, paddleboating, mini golf, tee ball, stomp rocket, air hockey, group bbq, and the rides and bouncy house at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa on the way home!

On the way, stopped at a farm in Petaluma to stretch our legs

Day out with Dad (29 months)

Jack and Doug spent a recent HOT Sunday at a bluegrass festival in Oakland. They had such a good time that I think we will all go next year!

Jack had a front row seat for the show!
