Our first stop was in northern CA where we hiked through the Redwood forests at a tourist spot called the Trees of Mystery. Avery was afraid of the huge Paul Bunyan statue, and she kept calling him Paul Onion...
We took a gondola ride up to the top of the trees...
We drove through a redwood tree! These trees were so amazing!!
Next, we drove down to the bay area and spent a few days with Avery's grandma Kathy. We rented a little condo near the beach in Aptos. It was so beautiful! We saw so many dolphins and seals swimming so close to the shore.
Avery had a blast swimming in the waves and making sand castles!
Avery was also so excited about all the 'vacation food' we got to eat all week. Now we all need a detox diet after all the fast food and ice cream we had on the road!!
We also got to visit the Monterey aquarium with Grandma Kathy. Avery's new favorite animal is the Sea Horse...
After we left the beach, we met up with the rest of Jon's family in Oakland who were in town for Brenna's wedding. We spent one morning with the Paul family at the zoo. Avery had so much fun running around with her cousin Calvin.
Avery played lots of games of Ring Around the Rosie!
Avery was the flower girl at Brenna's wedding. She actually made it down the isle on her own and sat through the whole wedding without making too much noise. We were so impressed!!!
Avery was a trooper with all the driving. We tried to plan a lot of our trips at nap time which worked out well. We will be putting our Baby Beluga CD to rest for a while though...I'm pretty sure she made us listen to it at least 50 times!!!
