California, Napa, Petaluma the JB Part 4

WOW, we sure have a lot of pictures to put on here, it's been an all day affair. Here we all are in Petaluma for the JB. We had such a great time and look forward to it every year. Dave is caught in the act vandalizing public property but it was for a good cause :) The picture of POPS with Camden in front of a doughy statue man was one night after dinner and we came outside and he was in front of the restaurant and Camden was talking to him like crazy and laughing, it was too funny! The rest are just snap shots of the wonderful Buttress clan, sorry I did not have any from our last night there at the Czar and Mrs. Czar's house, I was in the room with C for 2 hours getting her to sleep. Congrats to Chelsea for winning the JB tourney this year and a huge thanks to our wonderful hosts, Mark and Debbie! There are no golf pictures either, I forgot to give Michael the camera this year to take a few, oh well there is always next year. Also congrats to Mitch and Alexis on their engagement, welcome to this wonderful and beautiful family. 

California, Sausalito & Aunt Debbie's Part 3

Here are a few snap shots in Sausalito where Camden got her a really cool hat, it was quite the hit! The great dane you see belongs to Auntie Ann and  Uncle Chuck, they came to visit us while we were staying with Auntie Debbie for the night. Angel is 7 months old and weighs 115 pounds, she and Camden were getting acquainted. We stayed with Deb in Pleasonton and had dinner with the family, it was great to see everyone! 

California, San Francisco Part 2

Here are a few pictures of us at Pier 39 in Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge and the zoo where we met Aaron, Jessica and Avery for the morning. Camden and Dad passed out after one of our outings! I took a picture of Alcatraz but we did not get a chance to go over and check it out, due to our time in the city getting cut short. We had a blast and are looking forward to going back. The picture of Michael and C in the dark was when we were in the Aquarium of the Bay and he was pointing to a fish or shark or something.

California Muir Beach Part 1

I am posting a few different segments from our trip to California, as there are many pictures that we took, our first part is when we went to Muir Beach, where Michael grew up. The beach is so beautiful and the view is breath taking. We drove many windy roads which Michael loved, made him feel like he was in Nascar in our rented PT cruiser :)  We spent Sunday exploring Muir Beach, San Fran, and Sausalito, as our plans to split up the 2 days did not work out due to arriving in San Francisco a day late, let me explain.

I will try to make a long story short, we left out of PBI at 6:30 schedule to land in ATL and then head to SF, well the weather was bad in ATL so they flew us to Savannah so we would not run out of gas. They told us we should be on our way about 10ish, as we had to wait for another crew to come in, we were on DELTA! We land in Savannah at 9 and are there until 12 midnight, due to our crew not being there and the Atlanta airport being shut down for a few hours due to the storm. Soo we land around 12:45ish and of course there are no flights going out to SF as we had missed our connecting flight and at this point traveling with a 3 month old we were not about to hop on another flight at 1am. There is more to the story but we ended up spending the night in ATL at a hotel that we had to pay for since Delta said the weather was not their fault, by the time we got checked in was 2:30ish got Camden to sleep within the hour and then up again at 6:45am to head back to the airport to catch our flight. What do you think happens when the Atlanta Airport gets shut down for a few hours??? A ZOOOOO, MADHOUSE!! That night was a madhouse, people everywhere trying to figure out where they are going to stay, and the next morning CHAOS!!  So we are off, stinky and all except for Camden, who had fresh clean clothes and was a trooper through everything and should earn the best traveling baby award!

Wait there is more, we finally arrive in SF and head to get our rental car, meanwhile Michael is lugging his golf clubs around with mine and Camden's bag (note to self, never pack baby stuff with my stuff again)! 3 hour wait to get our rental car!! Yep 3 hours, our you kidding me, there is no way we are waiting that long to get a car after all we had been through and with a baby, so we take a 40 dollar cab ride to or hotel and will deal with getting a car later. We arrive at the hotel and it was a complete dump, will not go into it, but we left there as fast as we could and took another cab ride to Sheraton at Fisherman's Wharf, which was great by the way. Soo it was not until about 5ish that we got all done and settled into our vacation, and that was just the trip out there :)

A day in the life of CPB

Here are some pictures taken over the last 2 weeks, Camden is coming up on 3 months June 11th, how the time flies, she is growing so fast. This last week she has started rolling over and you will see in one of the pictures she is having a stare down with Kona, too cute! Friends Judy and Rusty also came to visit this past week and we got over to Singer Island to see them and they were able to meet Camden and Avery. Yep, that blonde cutie is our fast growing nephew Avery. There is a picture of Uncle Aaron holding Camden with Avery right next to them, he is such a good cousin, they were having their own baby conversation going on. Camden also had her first grilling experience with dad and seemed to enjoy it along with getting to try on her new swimmies though we have not been in the water yet but soon!! :)
