We started this blog when we left for Guadalajara in late 2006. It feels like a lifetime ago. Well, really it was. Since then we survived a kitchen remodel, pregnancy, birth (and beyond) and now we have a son who runs our lives and we couldn't be happier (well, most of the time that is). This blog is all about him. Since all our family is far away we hope you check in now and then to stay updated on the life and times of El Chiquitito.

Virginia City
On our way home from Tahoe we stopped off in Virginia City. This added an extra hour to our trip. We made pretty good time leaving South Tahoe at 10:30 and arriving at 11:30am, just in time for a 20 minute tour of the tiny town. The gold and silver mined from Virginia City helped build San Francisco and put he Hearst family on the map. It was only a 20 minute tour so that is about all we caught. The rest of the time Rocco was pointing and oohing and awing over something so we didn't hear much. We left at 2pm and finally made it home at 7:45PM. We spend an hour in Sacramento walking around Barnes and Noble and Target to avoid the evening traffic. It was all very exhausting, which is what traveling with a demanding 3 year old is like these days. He ran around Target for a long time, which was great. It was Exhausting for us but had to be done. We still love to travel and load up our ipod with podcasts and drive long distances, eat at weird hole in the walls and people watch. We are learning to fine tune our adventures with him. Rocco is for the most part very good on trips - but he is 3 and he can only hang out in a car or plane for so long. Our next vacation is Salt Lake City to see Gwyn and Sarita. We are SO excited to see them, their new home and SLC.
