The September Adventures of Sydney Brie!

Our first trip as a family was to San Francisco when Sydney was 2 1/2 weeks old. We were thrilled when we realized for the rest of our life we are carpool lane eligible!!! We went for the California Dental Association annual convention and more importantly to catch up with some of our closest friends from dental school days. Cheyanne threw a "Meet Sydney" shower for us at the Westin St Francis where we stayed.

My favorite postion these days

Our next trip was again to San Francisco and then to Sonoma at age 4 1/2 weeks for our 5 year anniversary. We went to a Giants game, stayed at the luxary suite in Adam's 1 bedroom apartment, and Sydney and Liss hung out in the city while I golfed with Adam.

First Giants game and Sydney was totally into it...in her dreams as she slept peacefully through the entire game
Friday nite we went down to Saratoga to the beautiful Mountain Winery for a Chris Bode concert with my parents and Jimmy and Wendy (who then announced they are 12 weeks pregnant!!!). It was an incredible concert with probably the most well-known jazz trumpet artist and his band and special guests. After seeing a concert at that venue, you are spoiled for life.

After that nite we drove to Healdsburg, Sonoma for our romantic anniversary get-a-way. We almost felt like we were in the Tuscan hills as we drove around the Dry Creek Valley and visited winerys and gardens. It was a weekend of amazing food, great wine, a flat tire, and fun toting Sydney Brie around. Yes we were that couple with a baby while wine tasting.

Dinner on our anniversary...again, she slept through the whole nite

We have always loved traveling and have never wanted to be a couple that stopped everything when we had a baby. As we have heard from EVERYONE and their moms, enjoy it while she is a newborn because it doesn't last long... well... we will just take it one day at a time. For the time being...we are loving experiencing all kinds of things with our baby girl!
