Trip to Santa Rosa 10/20-10/21

A few weekends ago we took a trip to Santa Rosa to visit Grandpa and Grandma Campbell and Auntie Sarah. It was nice to visit because it has been a very long time since we went to the "Ranch," as Justin calls it. Justin spent some time helping my dad get the house ready for winter and my mom and I took Gianna to a booksale and Coddingtown to hang out. Gianna got lots of books at the booksale and then she got some snow boots for our trip to North Dakota next month at Old Navy.

To my surprise Coddingtown is now a "Simon" mall (yuck for mig corporations taking over locally-owned businesses). I guess part of Coddingtown being taken over means that it can only have big-box chain stores and restaurants in it, so we took Gianna to "Narsi's" for lunch to say goodbye to the restaurant, sign their petition, and eat some lemons. Well, Gianna did most of the lemon-eating. And that was only after she was done with the pickle. Don't judge me: the girl loves sour foods and who am I to disagree?

We also got to go on a very fun walk with Grandma, Rita (the doggie) and Auntie Sarah. Here is another little-known fact about Gianna: She is Obsessed with Dogs! She loved watching Rita all weekend, as well as holding her leash on the walk. She giggled so hard when Rita rolled over right un front of her and really really loved when Rita towed her car with her leash. It was a very fun weekend and it was so nice to see more family.
