We headed to Sonoma first and while the grown ups went out to enjoy a day wine tasting, Mom took us kiddos to a mini-amusement park across from our hotel called Traintown. Even Mom had to admit that it was a pretty fun place to spend the day (definitely a distant second to sipping fine wines and enjoying the adult company, but while pregnant, it was a great alternative). Traintown had a mini train that we could ride on to a little miniature train town that had a little saloon, jail, school house and petting zoo. After the train ride, there were tons of rides - a kiddie roller coaster, ferris wheel, carousel, flying planes, etc. It was fantastic. Harrison was too little to ride the roller coaster alone and Mommy was too pregnant to ride along, but luckily a nice dad there offered to let Harrison ride with his teenage son (thus explaining the stranger next to Harrison in the picture!).
Saturday was the big day. Mommy took me to see our cousin Joey who made my hair gorgeous while Daddy took Harrison to get ready with the boys. We met up at the church and although Harrison seemed a little tired and there was a moment of concern on Mommy's part, we made it down the aisle together just perfectly (unfortunately, Mommy's camera wasn't working perfectly so we'll have to wait for the professional's pics to prove how cute we were). The reception was fantastic....a beautiful outside party, a gorgeous night and great music! I danced ALL NIGHT LONG. A huge thank you to Uncle Omar and Aunt Christie for keeping me entertained on the dance floor all night -- somehow Mommy missed out on getting a lot of pictures of us dancing....probably because about an hour into the reception, Harrison fell sound asleep on her lap and stayed that way all the way until the end of the party! I kept running over to Mommy to tell her that this was the FUNNEST day of my LIFE! I told Brooke a few days later I wanted them to get married again so we could go back and do it all over....I think she almost fainted at the thought!
Sunday we drove back to San Francisco and headed down to Pier 39 and the Aquarium of the Bay. Harrison reported that the his favorite part was riding the elevator -- go figure! We were also pretty impressed by the moving walkways that took us through the glass tunnels to see the fish...
Monday we headed to Great America and had yet another "funnest day of my life." They had a ton of rides that were just our size and we managed to ride every single one of them...plus we got to watch a Live Dora show and meet Dora and Spongebob and play a few carnival games to winlarge prizes that we had to figure out how to shove into our suitcase!

We spent every evening at Aunt Christie and Uncle Omar's house for dinner and Brooke and Ryan would come over to join us, so we had a lot of time to enjoy spending with everyone. It was such a fun trip and we can't wait to see everyone again soon!

Looks as though you had a fabulous time! Make sure your mommy tells you what a wonderful dancer your daddy is though it looks like you probably saw that at the wedding! As evidenced by the pictures!!
Your kids are sooo cute! I still can't get over how much I think Harrison looks like Andy when he was little. Hope you're doing well - best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy! We've been talking about planning a big family vacation to Hilton Head next summer...maybe you guys can make it too! I'd love to meet all of the little ones!
