All the ladies got it figured out. Now, who wants eggs?

The family took advantage of the holiday weekend to spend the night in beautiful Point Reyes. Some highlights from our little trip:

Like I said, beautiful:

As we reached San Anselmo, Calvin started sobbing and wouldn’t stop. I went back to check on him and discovered that he was covered in vomit (probably caused by motion sickness). After cleaning him up as best we could, we decided to get some coffee and let Bunter air out. As we left the coffee shop, a woman stopped us to ask if we would send her a picture of Calvin because she’s a casting agent for Baby Gap. And we were like, “if you think he’s cute now, wait until you see him without barf in his hair!” Except we didn’t say it out loud.

Our room was adorable and had a little window

That led to the bathroom which was tiled and had a jacuzzi tub!

The view from our room

Walk through those trees, through a cow field, and you come to the Bear Valley Visitor Center. From here you can walk the Earthquake Trail or visit the Miwok village at Kule Loklo. Total elementary school field trip flashback!

Incidentally, the people in the above photograph are from Santa Cruz. We met them at the deluxe continental breakfast. Small world, no?

Point Reyes Station has many wonderful shops that sell all kinds of neat things. Like this shirt

It also has this auto-body shop

On the way home, we put Calvin in the jump seat to keep him forward facing

And puke free!

It was good to get out of town, and good to get home.

As always, thank you Ken for the amazing photographs.

On weekends, Larson and I like to keep it pretty mellow. Sometimes we’ll get a little crazy and stay up until 9:30 watching Miss Marple, but that’s about it. Not this weekend! In less than 48 hours, we attended two weddings and got to meet our new niece.

Congratulations MarMar!

Congratulations Carissa and Galen!

Welcome Eloise!

Dang you guys, after all this excitement, I don’t think I’ll be able to stay up for Mystery! tonight.
