California Part 1: Sacramento

And we're off! 

Last Friday, John found out that he had an unused paid paternity leave left from Jocelyn's birth.  He had only one week to use it, so we decided to take a spontaneous trip to California! We decided at lunch on Friday to go to CA and 3 hours later, we were on the road!

We left Friday and Saturday was Olivia's 2nd birthday!  I actually did most of the cake decorating, but my mom fixed all my mistakes.  Olivia is obviously admiring her bunny cake.




Here's Grandpa with his two grandkids just a month apart:
And his other two grandkids a month apart!

My mom and I took Olivia to Costco, but she was so tired she didn't even wake up when we took her out of the car.  Everyone that we walked past laughed at little Olivia in her resting pose.

Guess where we went on Monday!

Olivia LOVED it, but I think she liked the train that went through the zoo better.



Jocelyn enjoyed it too.


Then she got hungry.





Then we went to FairyTale Town across the street.  Olivia was really tired after the zoo, so we more liked walked through it instead of played in it.  I think next time we go, we will just go to FairyTale Town and not do it with the zoo.  There is so much for kids to do there and it's only 4 bucks on the weekdays.



Before we left Sacramento, we went t visit Nana and Papa, John's grandparents.


Olivia loved her great-grandpa and dragged him around the house so that he would take her to see the dogs.  She had him wrapped around her little fingers.

I wished we had a lot more time in Sacramento.  We packed our day with fun stuff and still didn't really have enough time to do everything we wanted or visit everyone we wanted to.  Hopefully someday we will move back to CA.  We really miss everyone and the warm weather.
