Napa Weekend

We took a quick getaway to Napa for a little foodie weekend. Mommy and Daddy hope that when I grow up, I will appreciate food as much as they do.

We finally made it to Addendum for their famous fried chicken.

After loading up on almond croissants and macarons from Bouchon Bakery, we spent an afternoon lounging at the hotel pool. I had such a great time that I did not want to get out of the water.

We also visited the Oxbow Public Market, and ate lunch at Michael Chiarello's Bottega.

This is what we ate!

Burrata with heirloom tomatoes and balsamic caviar; Braised pork belly with crispy soft-cooked egg

Bucatini carbonara; Pan-roasted potato gnocchi with summer squash

Custard filled beignets; Sorbetto trio

Yummy! Not surprisingly, my favorite dish was the sorbet.

iPhone pics

I ♥ Instagram! Here are some recent photos I took using my new iPhone 5!

Touchdown! Go Irish!

Mac n' cheese at IKEA

Mmmm...Yogurtland.

I'm totally addicted...

Habitot Children's Museum

We took a spontaneous trip to Berkeley last weekend. After a yummy lunch at Cheese Board Pizza (best pizza ever!), we visited the Habitot Children's Museum. It is much smaller than other museums we've visited, but still contained plenty of things to entertain me for a few hours.

I always love grocery shopping, both real and pretend.

I also loved the arts and crafts room - I got to paint on the wall!

You can never go wrong with a giant water table.

There was also a rocketship exhibit.

Finally, we read a few books in the reading room. This was Daddy's favorite part of the whole museum.

Bouncy House Fun

We went to a summer picnic a few weeks ago and had so much fun in the bouncy house that we couldn't wait to do it again. So Mommy and Daddy, along with Kira, Kyla, Olivia, and Alex's parents decided to have a giant playdate and rent a bouncy house all for ourselves! They made sure to get one large enough that would fit all the adults as well.

We bounced on and off for over three hours. The best part was when we sang Ring Around the Rosie and all fell down together. All of us toddlers kept asking to do it over and over again.

Meeting my Cousins

Mommy's cousins Vicki and Charles came to California for a visit, so I got to hang out with Wylie and meet twins Ethan and Dylan for the first time.

At first I was extremely shy with all these strangers in our house, but by the end of dinner, I had really warmed up to Wylie. It helped that he shared his helicopter toy with me!

Camping Weekend

We went on our second annual camping trip over Labor Day weekend, along with the Chiu, Yuen, Kwan and Schmidt families. This time, we camped at Petaluma KOA. Compared to last year's campsite, this was a resort! There were playgrounds, a swimming pool, petting zoo, and a giant bouncy cushion. Hours of nonstop fun!

The bouncy cushion was just like your typical bounce house, but with no walls!

Bouncing with Mommy and Jaime. Look at that air!

We spent hours at the pool every day.

And visited the goats at the petting zoo.

Best of all, I reunited with my friend Sumo! Ever since we first met last year, I have been obsessed with doggies, and we like to say it's all because of Sumo. I loved taking him for walks around the campground.

I also discovered marshmallows and s'mores for the first time. Yum!

This is what camping is all about.

We all had a great time hanging out and enjoying the great outdoors.
