Tomales Bay

I lagged a bit selecting the destination this year for my annual January getaway.  With a loud, tiny human in tow, options like a serene yurt campsite didn't seem quite as plausible.  We ended up at Dancing Coyote, one of my longtime favorites, which is situated nearby the best hike ever.  Hurray for baby's first elk sighting!

Queen of the Castle

Me? ha ha ha, no.  This little lady has deemed the breakfast tabletop her exclusive hangout spot, has an entire drawer devoted to her many outfits, and requires at least half an hour of belly rubs a day.  Of our three babies, she's the one who most frequently wakes me up in the mornings to be feasted, and if I dally she's willing to snack on our macbook power cord while she waits.

But, she's gorgeous and she knows it.  She's sassy and she owns it.  And, I honestly have no idea how parents without cats keep babies entertained.

Keiki in Hawaii

All smiles...before he felt that cold water. And it started to rain.

Similarly startled (thus the grump face) when he tasted haupia shave ice.

He has some work to do if he's ever going to be an island boy. At least he had tons of fun being doted on by his cousins!

 They're pretty cool kids, and it will be fun to join in their games!

We miss our family already! Can't wait for our next visit!!
