Santa Barbara Wine Country Half and Mommy's First Mother's Day

Over Mother's Day weekend we took our second annual trip up to Santa Barbara Wine Country (Los Olivos) to run the half marathon, celebrate Mommy's first Mother's Day and maybe do a little wine tasting!  We went with Uncle Hugo and Auntie Liz and had a great time!
We had lots of fun on the car ride up to Santa Barbara!
Our AMAZING home for the weekend...right smack in the middle of Los Olivos!  


 Sloane liked the beautiful backyard.


It even had a jacuzzi! So nice for a little post-race rehab!
Auntie Liz and Uncle Hugo cooked up a delicious meal for us on Thursday!

Sloane had lots of fun in her door bouncer!
The scenic Santa Barbara Wine Country:
On Friday we did a little pre-race wine tasting...why not?!
Tasting at Demetria...so lovely.

A beautiful setting and great wine!


Race day!
Daddy and Sloane came to the start line in Santa Inez to see Mommy and Uncle Hugo off!
Auntie Liz came too!
We're ready!
Mommy finishing her 6 miles and ready to hand off to Daddy at the relay switch point in Los Olivos (1 block from our house!).

Here's Daddy crossing the finish line in Solvang!

Yay! We did it!
 Uncle Hugo did the WHOLE 13.1!  

Happy runners ready for some wine!
 Having lunch at Rusack...another beautiful setting.

Bath time is soooo fun...even when traveling!

The best Mother's Day gift ever:

 Mother's Day lunch in the vineyard at Cambria...One of Mommy's favorite wineries.




Mommy's first Mother's Day card...signed and everything!

Family Fun!

We had a wonderful time when Grand Uncle Kim and Grand Aunt Olga from Clear Lake, CA came to SD for a visit!  Grand Uncle Kim is Mimi's brother and he and Grand Aunt Olga were so excited to meet Sloane!  We had a great BBQ lunch at Mimi and Grandpa's house and Cousins Natalie and Clay came too!  Good times!
