She's a Penny Silly

The mayhem on Market St.

Her first Halloween candy she did not eat.

Group Photo

An attempt at a group photo of the children in Sonoma doesn't go super smoothly.

Got Milk?

Actually, it's yogurt. Still, it's a dairy product mustache.

We took a walk through the arboretum.

To Northern California We Go!

10 day trip! We started in Petaluma, near Sonoma, where we met up with our friends. There will be a video. Penelope met some new friends, went
wine tasting, and got to crawl around a very large house.

We headed out to our second destination, Point Reyes National Seashore. Pen took her longest hike here; 4.6 miles! Really, she endured us taking the hike while she enjoyed the ride. The following day, we tried to see the lighthouse but there was too much fog, but on a different hike she got to see a large group of deer and hear elephant seals blurb.




Our last destination was in San Francisco, but before we arrived there we took a short hike in the Muir Woods National Monument. It was crazy packed with people despite it being a Friday during the middle of the day. We finally arrived at the Omni Hotel in San Fransisco. Penelope's PoPo (Grandma) and Goong Goong (Grandpa) and her uncle Warren were there to meet us. This was the first time Goong Goong and Penelope met.




Her grandparents were nice enough to come all the way from LA to babysit Penelope so we could celebrate the marriage of Erin and Anthony. They had a beautiful ceremony and Penelope was so excited for her Godmother Erin she gabbled during the vows. We stayed an additional day in SF, but her grandparents were gone. That means we went to bed when Penelope went down for the day, around 7:30 pm. We had thought it would be hard to fall asleep so early, but since it was the night after staying up late for the wedding reception, we fell asleep instantly.


Penelope was a great traveler. On our flight home, she fed during take off, fell asleep and fed during our decent. What?! Yes, she slept the whole flight back home! We really hope this is an indication of many trips to come.
