Where the heck have you been, Beckey? You might ask yourself.
Or you might be like, what? You went somewhere? Who the hell cares. What I want to know is how long is a hippo’s gestation? Can I find that here?
No, you can’t find that here. But I have photos of our fantastic road trip where we traveled up and back down the California Coast.
It’s just as facinating, I promise. Or…it’s like those boooring family slide shows you were forced into watching when you were a youngster…you decide:
Here we are driving. There was a lot of that.
We visited San Luis Obisbo to watch my coolest bro-in-law graduate, then headed up to San Francisco.
Golden Gate Bridge
Then we went to Monterey.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Carmel-by-the-Sea:
And took Highway 1:
Isn’t it beautiful?
Then, we went to Solvang and tasted wine…
Even Hudson got to taste some wine. Everyone’s a winner!
There was an overarching theme to our trip. It was Bad Mood Berlyn.
Girlfriend was moody.
Here's Moody Berlyn at the quaint French cafe in the Ferry Building in San Francisco.
Moody Berlyn walking down the Embarcadero in S.F.
Moody Berlyn in our hotel room.
Moody Berlyn on a couch looking at a table of flames.
We then realized the cure to her bad mood was in the form of bacon, ice cream, lolly pops and wine.*
She perked right up.
At a breakfast spot in Solvang.
Eating ice cream while it was freezing outside at Ghirardelli Square in S.F.
Getting sauced at the Saarloos Winery/Enjoy Cupcakes bakery in Los Olivos.
*No, we didn’t really give her wine. I thought it would be fine, but Pat wouldn’t let me. He’s such a party pooper. Lame.
Sausalito
And that, my friends, was our family vacation.
It looks like you had a lovely vacation as soon as Berlyn was sated with bacon and ice cream. Beautiful pics.
Is that a Tiffany’s key you are wearing?

Wow. You are just baiting the “holier than though” mamas out there. They can sense pictures of kids around alcohol and zoom in with their talons and beaks.
Good luck.

Love the vacay photos – my favourite is by far the wine tasting – way to pass on the pleasure!!!

I love that you showed pics of your daughter being “moody”! That seems to be the overwhelming personality trait in all 3 of my children on every trip we take!! Hence, we stay home a lot…

Looks like a blast. The pictures of “Moody” are awesome. Bacon makes me happy too. Glad you are back safe.
