Babymoon and a nice cold to go with it!!!

So Dan and I decided we needed to take one more trip before the baby gets here (BABYMOON!) so we took a week off work and headed to California.... We decided to stay with friends and family along the way to get to spend more time with everyone which was so well worth it..

First stop was in San Fran to see my cousin Ken, meet his girlfriend Susan (which we just think is awesome by the way) and my other cousin Doug. We got in on Saturday morning around 10 and let the fun begin. While in the line at the rental car place we decided since we tend to not do so well with directions we would try and get a GPS system with the car if it wasn't too expensive. When they started to tell us the daily rate for Garmin I was like no way I am paying that but since we were renting for a week they gave us a steal on it so we got it...And let me right now thank the inventors of the Garmin for saving our marriage...hahah just kidding Dan... This thing is phenomenal. We get in the car get all situated and set up the Garmin and type in my cousin Ken's address...Off we go. My ever so clever husband is explaining to me as we are getting out of the airport that the Garmin will give you new directions if you take a wrong turn and literally he had not even finished that sentence when we hear "RECALCULATING" aka we made a wrong turn. Which of course made me just come down with a severe case of the giggles...We heard that loud "RECALCULATING" actually quite a bit on this trip but again can not sing the praises of the Garmin any louder.

Then we met up with my cousin Ken and Susan and I had tried to warn them that I was quite large. I mean hello I am in my 8th month per se.. My cousin definitely puts me right at ease letting me know that my arse still looks great..... So I felt much better after that...We headed over to Tiburron and had a fun lunch in a Mexican place. Then off to get some exercise around that area and we got sucked into a candy shop. Ken hands me a pretty large piece of fudge and man I have not seen baby Sam get so active so quick. Pretty funny..... Dan swears I inhaled that fudge as he never saw it.... Then back to San Fran for some more walking sightseeing and then out to dinner... What a fun night....Then on Easter Sunday we had brunch at my other cousin (Doug's) place and what a fun day that was. What more could you ask for to be with family, great food and new people to meet...And of course Dan would mention the yummy drinks that he thoroughly enjoyed.... What a fun day of looking at his phenomenal views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz....Dan and I just sat on the balcony for hours enjoying the views....

Here is a fun picture of the family for Easter Sunday brunch...

Next stop was Santa Rosa to spend time with my BFF and her family. More to come on the trip in a day or two...
