California visit

Last weekend we traveled to the Bay Area. Dana participated in a moot court competition, and Alex and I tagged along.

Alex is a very good traveler.

Alex and Mr. Bear peruse the drink selection

Alex picked an orange juice + soda water mix

Mr. Bear chose a screwdriver

On Friday night, Dana and I had a night out with her Aunt Josie and Uncle Armand. It was a rare night out without Alex and we really enjoyed seeing Josie and Armand, and eating at Mario's Italian Restaurant We had a wonderful meal and spent the evening catching up. Naturally, I forgot to take pictures...

After the Moot Court competition, and our short stay in Palo Alto, were over, we drove out to Stockton to visit Ryan, Heather and Rowan. To our surprise and delight, Rowan is a big boy already! He's nearly as big as Alex, and already walking and talking at 15 months. Alex and Rowan had a good time playing with trains, trucks, cars, balls, etc..

Rowan is on the left, Alex on the right

On Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa hosted an outstanding brunch where we saw Jean, Grove, cousin Keith, Sam, Maryo, Kristin, and others. Again, no pictures. In fact I was distracted for about 45 minutes trying to convince Alex to take a nap. He finally did, and slept for a good 2 hours, which made our trip home much more enjoyable for everyone.
