Favorite Things

A few weeks ago when Nana, Papa, and Aunt Katie were visiting, I was afforded the opportunity to experience one of my favorite things of all time......the Davis Farmer's Market Carousel. This is monumental folks. I dream about it. I recite to my mommy which animal I want to ride next every time we're in the car. Piggy.....Cat....zebra.....ettettant (elephant)......mingo (flamingo)....and the list goes on. However, you would never guess the rush I get from this ride by looking at these pictures. I keep it all inside. Until ride is over. Then I lose it.

San Fran, Day 2

The next morning we had a fabulous buffet breakfast at the hotel and then headed to Chinatown. However, I must say that none of the sights or sounds came close to winning my heart the way the stuffed dog in the hotel lobby did.
















San Francisco

First stop in SF: Fisherman's Wharf for clam chowder in a sourdough bowl, fresh crab, shrimp, and ofcourse, fish and chips. I sampled everything, but definitely picked the clam chowder as my favorite.
Second stop: Pier 39 (somewhat of a disappointment this time because the Sea Lions were off mating)






After that, we headed to our hotel to check in. Long story short, I was too excited from the days events to even think about sleeping. Well, that and all the chocolate.



Aunt Katie stopped by to kiss me good night.



Just one more story? I promise I'll go to sleep after that. wink, wink.




Daddy the next morning after not getting nearly as much sleep as he's grown accustomed.

Road Trip

My Nana and Papa came to visit last week, and we had a blast. Much of that may be due to the fact that they were constantly loading me up on baby cocaine (m&m's) when mom and dad weren't looking. Anyway, you'll be seeing them in the next few posts because we covered a lot of ground and took a lot of pictures in one week.

The second day they were here, we took a road trip to San Fran with a stop on the way at Muir Woods, one of the last Redwood patches in the country.

Sunflower Fields Forever

Here's a few pics by the beautiful sunflower fields near our house. ENJOY!




As you can see, not only is this outfit cute, but I'm practically invisible in it.
