Hi everyone & greetings from Los Gatos, CA. We are in the middle of a two-week long road trip visiting friends & family in the Golden State. Our little Sweet Koorn has been such a trooper in the car, in & out of the car, meeting lots of people and setting up shop in different locations.
For our first stop we spent a few days at Jeanne & Dirk's house in Garden Valley; they hosted a fun meet & greet party so their many friends could come meet Freja. It is nice & quiet up on the Divide, and Jan & I really enjoyed being truly unplugged for a few days.
Next we stopped in Calistoga, which is up in Napa/CA wine country. The hotel we stayed at had a great pool and yummy restaurant, so much fun to be had there that we barely left the property. We were surrounded by wineries but managed only to do wine tasting right there at the hotel.
On Thursday we left Calistoga and headed down to Los Gatos where we've been staying with Nika & Will and their sweet baby Persis. It's been so fun seeing Freja play with a baby so close to her in age - although somehow we haven't gotten the girls on the same schedule, so when one is napping the other one is ready to go! Babies as you all know are unpredictable. Yesterday we enjoyed a private wine tasting at Ridge Winery in Cupertino, delicious wines and great views of the valley. We took them to a music class this morning, Freja was so intrigued by all the singing, clapping and instruments (Jeanne & Dirk rejoice, it seems she's gotten your musical genes!).
Tomorrow we head down south to Ojai where we'll have a few days to ourselves before we venture down to LA to introduce Freja to Uncle Jan & Nancy, Grandma Rachel and Arie & Mikako. We'll keep taking lots of pictures and refresh pics on the flickr stream when we get home next weekend. Love to you all!
