You took another plane ride, this time for a mini vacation to Mountain View (where Daddy met with business partners at the Google Headquarters), San Francisco, and Napa Valley.
Day 1: Our first day in Mountain View we visited the Google "compound", and it was awesome! If you have a beautifully brilliant mind like your Daddy, then someday you might be able to work for Google. If you do work for Google someday, please bring Mommy with you to work everyday, it's like a grown-ups playground there! :)
After our tour of Google, we ate dinner at INN N OUT, and it was yummy! Someday I'll bring you back and you can eat your first burger there. Later that evening we drove out to S.F. to see the Golden Gate Bridge, and drove over to Fisherman's Dwarf. It was getting late, so we waited until Day 2 to get out and sight see.
Day 2: We started our day off visiting Stanford, and the campus was beautiful! Then we spent the entire day in San Francisco being tourists. We saw Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Dwarf, Twin Peaks, and drove all around S.F. Mommy at the most delicious fish tacos...everything else I ever eat will be compared to those fish tacos! Daddy was craving fish & chips really bad, but the ones we finally found weren't very good, and he was bummed.
Day 3: You tasted (not ate, just sucked on) your very first piece of food; WATERMELON! You made a really funny face after you tasted it, but then you kept on gumming on it.
We drove from Mountain View to Napa Valley, and lucky for us, Napa had the 35th annual wine & crafts street fair. We walked all over historic downtown Napa shopping, sightseeing, and then ate lunch at Fish Story. Daddy finally found worthy fish & chips! We also had BBQ oysters, sweet corn polenta (YUM), and a delicious Caribbean mahi mahi, Mmmmm Mmmmmm Mmmmm!! :)
You napped while we laid out by the pool, and after we walked the Trinitas Vineyard.
Day 4: We toured the wine country today, and even visited a castle! Even someone that hated wine (Crazy Person) would love Napa Valley, it's the most beautiful and peaceful place. The perfectly green, manicured rows of grapes are so breathtaking! After a few hours of touring we headed back downtown for lunch, and then back out to the pool (you slept through both of these activities).
You are really enjoyable to travel with! You sleep through meals, you napped for a few hours and allowed Daddy & I to lay out poolside, you sleep for 10-12 hours straight every night....you don't let anything get in the way of your favorite thing....SLEEP!
We've had a great "mini-family-vacation" together, and we're already planning our next trip.
Love,
Mommy
