Ojai

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Ojai with our friends Jay and Jen and their 9 month old daughter, Mimi. It was our most successful travel experience yet. Jack and Sadie had a great time with Mimi and trashed our hotel better than the best of 70s rockers. Ojai is beautiful and we fit in a few small hikes. Best of all Sadie and Jack slept at night, which allowed J. and I some time with friends and to be rested and enjoy our weekend. It was pretty awesome.

You may be wondering why Jack is in something that looks like an elephant carrier on my back in the group photo. Our friends, Andrew and Meghan, who are much more avid hikers than us, were kind enough to lend us this backpack for the weekend. It was quite something. I felt a little embarrassed huffing and puffing on our hike, clearly out of shape, but wearing the fanciest hiking baby backpack ever. I may have to run up our front stairs a few thousand times before I look natural with this backpack on.
