We took Henry on his first vacation Sept 26Th-29Th. We went to Bass Lake California, its near Yosemite. I left a day early to help Casey's sister get her family ready for the trip. I was so worried Henry was going to scream the whole flight, but he did not make one peep! He must be used to flying already, he did spend 9months in my belly 8 of which I was in the air 2-4 times a week.
After packing, what seemed like their whole house, we finally left San Jose around midnight. This is Greg and Casey fueling up for the trip. As you can see from the back of Greg's truck, WE PACKED A LOT!

We made excellent timing. Even though we drove in the middle of the night, the drive was great. We had to drive through Gilroy CA, which I guess grows a lot of garlic. My mouth was watering for miles! YUM! We made it to Madera and needed to stop for some Jack in the Box. We had no idea what was going to happen next. We got on the road again.....the wrong road!!! we drove an hour and a half in the wrong direction!! Man did that suck. We ended up finding our way and arrived at 5am.

Friday we spent the day at the pool and hanging out, resting from the long night we had. Henry went swimming for the first time. I brought my camera to the pool but was having so much fun with Henry I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURE!! but just imagine my cute little guy splashing his little legs in the water. He had a BLAST. He was so tired from the day at the pool, that night was the first time he slept through the night. 7pm-6am. it was heaven! Saturday we rented a boat and spent the day motoring around the lake. Here is Greg, who acted as our driver for the day.

We found a great little spot to stop, have lunch, and spend some time swimming in the lake. I don't know how, but the geese knew we were eating lunch and decided to hang out and wait for some food. Casey made the mistake of giving them some bread and they ended up stay by the boat all day

Henry had some lunch too! Fed to him by his wonderful Aunt Natalie

We had such a great time! Henry slept most of the time but he woke up for these few pictures. Here he is smiling for his dad and another family pic, with an Eden addition, she loves being in pictures!
At the of our day I snapped this pictures on our way back to the dock. It was such a relaxing day, I didn't want it to end.

We finally made it back to the condo and relaxed for the evening. Eden Eli and Henry played on the floor together. I think they are going to grow up to be great friends. Eden is the oldest and does such a great job with the little ones, she is a proud cousin. *Henry is wearing a nightgown not a dress!

Casey and I were lucky enough to have Natalie and Greg watch Henry so we could go back to Madera and go on a wine tour. Its was our first time and so much fun! Neither one of us know much about wine but I enjoyed drinking it! Casey was the DD so he enjoyed tasting it then spitting it out. lol. It was a lot of FUN, I'd recommend it to anyone. bring some $$$ though, I guess its proper to buy a bottle after the tasting, we ended up with 4 bottles of wine...yum yum!

Driving back to San Jose during the day was a lot more fun then driving at night. The views were beautiful! I snapped this picture of some lake we passed. The last picture of our first vacation! It was so much fun. I was so worried about taking Henry because he is so little, but he was great! I hope he continues to be a good traveler, so we can be a jet set family!
