Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation up north. We headed up to Windsor, which is right north of Santa Rosa smack in the middle of wine country!!! Our timeshare has a location up there and it is BEAUTIFUL! We decided to break up the drive and stop in Fresno overnight. My friend Amy was gracious enough to let us stay at her house, even though they weren't there! We also were able to meet up with my friend Katie from college and her FOUR kids! It was super fun. So after a morning at the park getting the wiggles out, we set off for Windsor. The first night we had dinner at a place called Mary's Pizza Shack, which apparently is a chain up there. It was super tasty!

The next morning we headed out to the pool for some splashing and fun in the sun. One of the reasons we were excited about this place was that they have a kids pool. The boys LOVED it!!






They just swam and swam and splashed and splashed. That afternoon during nap time I went to Wal-Mart and got them some noodles (not spaghetti but the swim toy kind that you can tie around kids to keep them afloat(. Jayden is in swim lessons and does great swimming with his noodle around him. So that way they could go in the big pool easier. Very fun!!!

The next day we headed off to a local park to play.




After that, we headed to the local post office to apply for our passports!! I know, super exciting vacation activity. But we needed to get it done soon and it was actually really nice to do it in a small post office. The boys are getting their first passports, Dan needed a renewal and I needed to get my name changed on mine. So after a lot of filling out forms and getting things together, they are all done! Wahoo!!!

The next day we headed to the absolute COOLEST park known to man in Santa Rosa. It has a train, a carousel, a petting zoo, pony rides, a splash pad, and a bunch of play structures. WOW!!! The boys were in heaven!









Needless to say, the boys COLLAPSED after this outing for LONG naps.

Sadly, the next day was our last day in Windsor. We spent the morning prepping to get ready to leave. We stayed in Fresno again that night, seeing Amy and Beau this time! So fun!! Jayden LOVED their dog but Eli was a little scared. The next morning we loaded up early and headed home as Dan had to close at Starbucks that night. All in all, a wonderful vacation!!! We are already talking about going back there for another vacation next year.

Yay for family road trips!!!
