We had originally thought about going to some more exotic destination but with the second pregnancy on the way and the queasiness that goes with it, we decided it was safer to travel somewhere a little closer.
No regrets, we had a fabulous time in Yosemite National Park and on the Pacific coast. We rented a sweet little house right on the coast, and got to see seals and whales there.
Oliver also had a great time with his KK (Ben's mom) and got to visit his cousins while we were gone.
Here is a sample of our trip...
