Baby Tour 2009

One thing I really like about living in California is Cesar Chavez Day. I realize that it is meant to be a day of service, but usually it means a 3-day weekend. This year it fell on a Tuesday, so CD and I made it a 4- day getaway.

We drove to Portland on Friday after CD finished his last lecture and spent a lovely evening with Robyn, Craig and Anya. Robyn had made a delicious curry and we shared some laughs.

The next morning we drove to Seattle, eager to see friends, especially those that had recently had newborns.
Laila is only 10 days old (Good job Sarah and Stefan!):

Jesse is 5 weeks old (Congratulations to Jamie and Mike!)

Anna holding Reid (9 weeks?) while big brother Henry snacks:


Marcus (almost 3 months)- what a smiling cutie!
In addition to meeting all the new little people, I was thrilled to visit with my brother Kendall (no pictures please) and my friend Derek and his family. Derek's wife Randi recently celebrated her birthday and I hadn't seen her for quite a while, so it was nice to catch up and see their kids growing too.
The good thing about staying until Tuesday morning was enjoying a happy hour with my ex-coworkers. Here are Drew, Derek, Kristen and I at the Sand Point Grill:
It was fun to see Seattle, although it is in a state of constant change which disorients me at times, and all the wonderful friends. In particular, big thanks to Jason for being our host!
