California Trip

March 8th, we took off for our first plane trip as a family. Mia had already been to California twice before, but this time Daddy was joining us!

Instead of the traditional stroller in the airport, we went for the hiking backpack. Mia loved it as you can see below hanging out with our luggage. We stayed with Alex and Erin, who have put us up several times in the past year. It is so much nicer to stay with friends than at a hotel.

Sunday was a beautiful day on Potrero Hill in San Francisco. After brunch, we took a walk to the top of the hill.


Mia had fun playing with all of Mom and Dad's friends. She even tried on James's motorcycle helmet. Safety First!

Dad stayed with Mia during the week while Mom went to work. They had a great time playing including peek-a-boo around the corners of the living room.


Then, we headed down to Santa Barbara to meet Cyanne Blabey (and see her parents, Tom and Kristen). Mia thought Cyanne was pretty cool. Despite her being 3 months younger than Mia, they were about the same size.

Mia showed Cyanne all her cool toys and how to play with them once she can sit up on her own.


Mia also got to see the Blabey's wonderful fruit trees. Dad introduced her to citrus fruit and avocados (one of Mia's favorites).



Saturday the 15th, we went for a lovely hike along the bluffs.


Thank you to the Blabey's for a wonderful (and always too short) visit.
