Little Poppy goes to Napa and San Francisco!

Poppy - who is now the size of a blueberry - is going to be a well traveled person - and this weekend was his/her first quick weekend getaway to Napa Valley and San Francisco! Well done, Poppy. We went for Sara and Andrea's wedding and got to sneak in a few days to visit Jessica. I swear, not only is Poppy the luckiest to have Erin as a mom but to get Jess (Jami, too) as an auntie?! Home run! 


The wedding was amazing. It was at Auberge du Soleil - a gorgeous winery with spectacular views of the valley. It was fancy! It felt good to be there. Sara has been a good friend to both Erin and I and to be there on her wedding day was special for us. Sara looked gorgeous - a beautiful bride, no doubt! Andrea, too! They both seemed so happy and in love!

I was having too much fun I forgot to take a lot pictures...



Sara and Andrea planned a day of wine tasting the day after the wedding (Saturday) but we didn't go - Erin didn't feel super hot so we headed back to San Fran. I'd say Erin not feeling great is the biggest difference this week. She is starting to feel sick - a little queasy - it comes and goes and she seems to do a lot better after she eats. My job is to make sure there are snacks close by - which I need to get better at because I'm not much of a snacker and don't plan ahead. Oh, and her sensitivity to smell is new and quite hilarious!

The kid in front of us was eating Tuna. She thought she was going to die.
San Francisco is the cutest and most charming city. It seems there is shopping and eateries on every street. The people seem friendly and laid back - a lot like Seattle. We had a great time and hope to visit more often. One of my favorite streets was filled with murals - mostly about equality and peace and justice. It seems the fights are the same no matter the city...

My favorite piece of art that I saw. I want this on our front step. I wish this was the motto for the whole world.
And you guys, can I please talk about my sister! Jessica is seriously one of the best people on this planet. Not only did she let us use her car (she must have ubered while we had it) and let us sleep in her bed - she took us around her city, engaged in the best conversations and made us feel so welcome. She did so much for us. She does so much - and that is because she has the best and biggest heart. I love who Jessica iso and feel so happy that she is my sister. I also feel so glad that Poppy will be influenced and loved by someone as kind and warm and good as Jess.


My only hope for next time is that we purchase this pinata and hit it multiple times!



Week 7, let's go!
