California Dreamin'

Haven and I are back from a wonderful trip to the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area. My parents offered to share a hotel suite with the two of us, and so I braved flying alone with a six-month old. She did really well.

It was gorgeous country. I could smell all the artichokes that the farmers were growing as we drove along the coast. I love artichokes.

Haven was rather unimpressed by all the things I was excited about. The ocean, the seals, the yummy seafood. She found it all rather blase. Her favorite was the sand and the seaweed. She enjoyed tasting both. Over and over again. Here are some of my favorite pics from the trip:
