We had a fantastic trip to northern California for Spring Break. Serena loved staying in hotels with good carpeting, Henry enjoyed having lots of quality time with mommy, daddy, and big sister. We enjoyed discovering that there are indeed Michelin star restaurants that have children's menus. A wonderful time was had by all.

| Serena making her "seahorse face" at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Fisch for the passes! |
 |
| Henry, mesmerized by the jellies. |
 |
| Dennis the Menace Park...one of the greatest playgrounds in the country. |
 |
| One of my happiest parts of the trip...snuggling and enjoying the view at the fire pit in Monterey. |
 |
| Daddy finally gets to visit Lagunitas brewery. |
 |
| Decked out in easter gear, ready to see some animals at Safari West wildlife preserve. |
 |
| After her basket was half full, Serena declared "I'm done. I have enough."Maybe she needs more of a challenge! |
 |
| Henry's first easter! |
 |
| Henry, charming the camera, at Solage resort. |
 |
| Solage. |
 |
Serena's first castle visit may have forever altered her perception of their purpose.
| "What do they do in castles, Serena?" "They make wine." |

|
 |
| Gorgeous morning in Napa. |
 |
| Daddy, happy and relieved after surviving a goose attack. |
 |
| Maybe the best family portrait ever taken by a passing stranger. Frog's Leap. |
 |
| First time on the cable car! |
 |
| Bye-bye, SF! |
