Carmel & San Fransisco & San Ramon

We did a little traveling around California while we were there. As a Christmas present my parents watched Lila for us so Paul and I could go on a little get-away to Carmel for a couple days. We went to Carmel on our honeymoon and it's one of our favorite places. It was our first time leaving Lila overnight, so we weren't sure how it was going to go, but she did great with my parents. I think we missed her more than she missed us. Paul and I really enjoyed our time together. We just relaxed, got messages, window shopped, ate yummy food, walked along the beach. It was really fun!

We got a couples message- which was heaven! I had had a message once before, last year for Valentine's Day, but this was Paul's first one. He loved it! The first thing he said when we were done is that he wanted to go again. Definitely very relaxing! We took some good naps and enjoyed sleeping in as much as we could. For some reason having Lila as our pretty constant 6:30am alarm clock has made our bodies not able to sleep in as late as we wish haha! We ate at some yummy restaurants and kind of just window shopped. We went down to the beach and watched the sunset. It was a fun two days.

We met up with my family and Lila in San Fransisco. We were so excited to see Lila, but she was too busy running around to really make a big deal about seeing us! We spent the day looking at some sights. We went to the San Fransisco Courthouse and looked at the Christmas Tree that was up there. We ate lunch at Boudin's and had their delicious clam chowder in a bread bowl. We went to Golden Gate Park and had a fun time playing at the big park there and going on the carousel. Then to end the day we went to the beach and watched the sunset. It was freezing, but still beautiful!

That night we drove to Paul's Aunt and Uncle's house in San Ramon. We spent the night there and then spent the next day visiting with them. We also got to see Paul's cousin, Lauren, and her husband, Tony, and their cute little boy, Camden. Camden is a year older than Lila, but they had a good time playing together and being silly.

On our way back up to Sacramento we went and saw our good friends, The Frys. We had fun catching up with them. They have a little boy, Swen, who is a little younger than Lila and then Leann and I are both pregnant with boys- due a week apart. So lots of driving, but so much fun spending time with family and friends!
