San Francisco Weekend

It seems like a billion years ago, but we took a little family vacay to the bay area. Since it was Mason's first time in SF, we hit the classic tourist spots. 

This kid did really well with a crazy schedule. He loved the hotel life!

 We went to family kite day at the Presidio and it was so fun. The park was beautiful and we ate empanadas and enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

 Phoenix was such a help getting our kite put together. Hee hee.

 We got to catch up with my friend Ashley and then she drove us all around the city to show us the sites.

 The ladies at the cupcake shop flipped over Phx's binky and thought is was so cute, she gave us a free snickerdoodle. And if you have ever tasted a snickerdoodle from Susie Cakes you know what a score that is. Seriously so delicious!

 I love this photo because it seriously sums up our family perfectly. Phoenix's eyes are locked on the camera, Mason is totally distracted by the awesome sunset, and I am taking care of my little Phoenix making sure he is all bundled up.

The other reason for the trip for was for Phx to meet both of his great grandmas.

 On our way home, we split the trip halfway and spent the night at the Baker House B&B. It was out in the middle of nowhere, so we were a little nervous, but it was seriously so cute! Huge wrap around porch with a swing and everything. So perfect.

My little brother gets hitched!

My little brother is the best. He is such a catch and of course it didn't take him long to get snatched up! He found the most darling girl on the planet and they really are a perfect match. We had such a great time celebrating with them. But lets start from the beginning...
We decided to drive to UT thinking "Hey, babies like to sleep in the car. The motion and the sound are soothing." What were we thinking? Our baby screamed pretty much the entire way. Nightmare! So we split it up and stayed in Vegas with one of my girlfriends which was such a nice break. That poor boy.

Once we were in Utah, we had a wonderful time.

My sister was able to come out from CT with her little family, so the Macks were all together for the first time in a long while. This year is the year of babies for us Mack girls and since Kendra was due June 1st, we decided to throw her a shower while we were there. It was so fun to get together and to meet some of her friends.

We also had the chance to have lunch with Madison, our sister in law to be. Since Jes and I hadn't met her before that weekend it was really fun to get to know her better.

The wedding was beautiful and they could not have looked happier. Such a great day.

That night was their reception and it was so much fun.

The reception hall was gorgeous and the food was so delicious. I ate my weight in crepes and loved catching up with friends and family. Such a great night.

The highlight of the weekend, aside from the wedding of course, was getting to meet Jes' little boy Otto and for my family to meet Phoenix. There was a lot of babies being juggled and passed around.

Love my family!
