So, our trip to California for the Elias family reunion was great! Jude was a good traveler, overall, and we all had a great time visiting family and friends and seeing the sights in Cali. The weather there was beautiful. Jude had several "firsts" on this trip. He flew for the first time and took his first hike. He also got to meet a lot of great friends and family. For the first part of our trip, we visited my former college roommate, her mother, her husband and her brother-in-law. We had a great time catching up, playing badmington, hiking the Dish, enjoying some delicious food. We even took Jude to the Menlo Park library story time. :) After that, we enjoyed a few days of family time just the 3 of us. We spent a day hiking near Napa and then another day visiting wineries in Sonoma. Then, we met up with the Elias family in Benicia for the big reunion. It was great to see everyone and we are so glad that everyone got to meet Jude. We are all settled back home now and all is back to normal. :) Here are some pics of the California fun!
