Last weekend we decided to take our little guy on a big adventure up in beautiful Humboldt County. We were able to catch up with lots of old friends, and they were able to meet Bryson for the first time. We had a blast.
This was a trip full of firsts for our little boy. The drive itself was Bryson's first road trip and his first time out of Santa Clara County. Our little guy showed us his first smile this weekend too, but not at us - he saw a pretty girl (we love you Raya!) and couldn't help but grin. Our Humboldt adventure also meant the little guy would go to the beach for the very first time. We figured that Bryson's first glimpse of the ocean should be at the most beautiful time of day in one of the most beautiful spots we knew, so we hurried off to Murray beach in McKinleyville to catch the sunset (and take an amazing family photo!). Don't mind the scruffiness - Matt can't help but revert back to Humboldt mode whenever he's up there.
This is Bryson and his as yet unnamed monkey. It's his favorite, or it will be his favorite. We figure if we keep the monkey around him all the time, he can't help but love it. I mean, look at them - aren't they adorable together?!? This picture is currently the background on Matt's laptop, and his students all agree its the cutest baby picture they've ever seen. :)
