#51: Wayne and Darlene Visit

My parents came to visit and to take care of Hudson as Joe and I went off to Cabo San Lucas to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. They came in a few days early which was amazing, so we were all able to spend some time together (and they got used to Hudson's schedule!).

They arrived on a Friday night and on Sunday morning we decided to download the church podcast and listen to it on the way up to Santa Ynez Wine Country! We stopped by 4 wineries: Alma Rosa, Tensley Tasting Room,  Demetria and Rusack. It was lots of fun and Hudson was a well-behaved boy (except when he yanked off my push-present necklace!).



During the week we took Hudson to the park, he LOVES the swings these days. His little giggles just make your heart melt :)


We all had so much fun and my parents were so gracious to take care of Hudson for 4 day and 3 nights while Joe and I did our little getaway! We missed Hudson, but knew he was in great hands!

#32: Hudson goes to Santa Ynez Wine Country

My girlfriend, Angie, was visiting us from NYC this past weekend. Unfortunately the weather in Santa Monica was overcast and cool, so the beach day we originally had planned was no longer a go. So we decided to head up north a couple hours to show her one of our favorite places in California - Central Coast Wine Country. Typically we stay the night, but since we had the Santa Monica Classic 10K on Sunday morning we made it a day trip instead.

Joe and I wanted to head up there before Hudson started crawling and becoming more active, so the timing worked perfectly. We only had time for 2 wineries, Demetria and Rusack. Hudson was a great baby at both places and enjoyed his bottle while the adults enjoyed some wine tastings.

We hope to head back there again this summer for an overnight trip, but were glad to make it up there for a few hours!
