I love to go to California but to be honest I was apprehensive with a quick trip driving there with a 2 yr. old in the car with us. I would have to say the trip was very successful Sadie was a superhero. My sister-in-law Camille gave us good places along the way to stop we rented a toyota Camry and off we went. 1st stop Elko, Nevada at Mc Donalds playland sadie loved the rocket ship, 2nd stop loveland at the outdoor playground that we could not find on the way down because it was pitch black, Reno Eddie was too tired to keep driving so we spent the night in Reno at the Nugget!! The next day finished the 2 hours to Davis, CA to Camille, paul, and Derek's house we dropped off Sadie and we continued to San Francisco for the day and went to the Giants game and then to fishermans wharf!!! I was so glad we had our stops mapped out I think that is what helped us to keep Sadie so happy she just watched movies and talked about going to Camilles house which was called California! The reason for this trip was because a family friend Steve and Annie Fernald got married in Sonoma Valley in wine country it was abosolutely beautiful. We also got to spend time with Camille, Paul, and Derek and their home in Davis (what a cool town everyone rides bikes the campus is full neck to neck of bikes)
Steve and Annie Fernald Calvin was the best man!!!

Other shots from the days events at the wedding Sadie keep saying Steve and Annie got married she was sooooo cute!!! The weather was beautiful and the wedding was at a gorgeous winery that was great for the kids because it had places for them to play!
Sadie danced the night away!!

These were blowing in the wind and sadie was blowing so hard because she thought she was moving them. So funny!!!

Breakfast at Crepeville in Davis!!!


Sea lions at the Wharf
Giants game at the at&t mobile park. Most beautiful ball field over looking the bay!!!
The day in San Fransico was a blast I love that city. This was the first and last time to have a car in the city every parking was so expensive (60 dollars to park by the stadium) next time we will ride the train!!! The weather was great for the game and the we spent some time at fishermans wharf bought some crab for eddie, walked around the shops and bought some sourdough bread and then headed back to Davis to Camilles. The next day we drove to Sonoma for the wedding events and then the next day back to SLC. This trip was a ton of drive but was so memorable and fun and now I am ready for another road trip and Sadie proved herself to be good in the car!!!

Sonoma County is where Jared's parents live! It IS so gorgeous, isn't it? You realize Utah really is a desert. :) And I'm glad Sadie was good for you! WHen we tried to go last year, Turin cried 80% of the time. Ugh, it was the BIGGEST NIGHTMARE, and that is why I am willing to pay to fly to avoid 12 hrs of crying! Glad you had fun. :)
