Maya was a hit on the dance floor.  We couldn’t keep her under control so we gave up.

Pic of Jen and Kyle’s in the background there and then of course Maya shaking it like its not 3 hours past her bed time.

The wedding was beautiful.  Everything about it was perfect, congrats to Kyle & Jen, enjoy your honeymoon in France!

They had a great pool with little fountains for the kids.

Day 2 of vacation we went to SeaWorld.  It was wonderful, we saw several great shows and Maya loved it.

Maya and Daddy got to feed the dolphins.

They have a huge warehouse of barrels where their wine is being aged.

We stopped by Talbott for a tasting and then had lunch at a nice outdoor bistro next door.

We spent the first day and a half downtown shopping and hanging out at daddy’s fancy hotel while he attended his conference before heading to Santa Rosa for the weekend. We had the best time and baby girl was so good.

Some light reading during a diaper change.

Korbel was beautiful. They had beautiful gardens and a nice cafe where we had lunch. Have you ever tasted cream sherry? If not, my best advise, DON’T! That stuff is awful. I guess I thought I was about to taste some champagne that tasted like creme soda, notsomuch.

Riding on daddy’s shoulders is always a good time.

We took a drive to the coast one morning before touring some wineries.

Maya was very happy to have some quality daddy time. He left for San Diego on Monday and we met up with him Thursday in San Francisco, so it had been several days since she had spent time with him.

Nothing makes mama happier than her girl…and a quality latte.

We stayed in Santa Rosa and there were snoopy figures all over the town that Maya enjoyed looking at.

The views were breathtaking. Rows and rows of beautiful grapes.

Bye bye wine country!
