FINN’S WORLD

Well, we survived the first Santoro family road trip!  We left Tuesday night and 1,000 miles later we’re home safe and sound.  We drove up along the coast and it was absolutely beautiful… San Diego to Santa Barbara to east bay San Francisco…and then back 3 days later!  Finn did great, he was such a trooper for being in the car so much and being around so many new people.

Christmas at the beach…we walked at the beach, shopped, ate and then jumped back in the car for the rest of the drive up north.

Next stop:  Great Grandma and Grandpa Santoro’s place, just east of San Francisco.  Noah’s grandparents are excellent cooks and great hosts.  We love ‘em so much and had a really great time staying with them.  Finn had a blast and explored every inch of their house of course.

Taking a bath in the sink, which he thought was way cool:

And his nona, Anne (yes, we’re both Anne Santoro, I’m ‘Annie Jr.’):

Some of the Santoro boys on Christmas Eve - Noah, Finn, Uncle Gary, Grandpa and cousin Eric:

We went to a little park by their house…took a ride on a train and played at the playground:

And that’s about it.  Christmas is officially over.  Can’t wait til next year when Finn will officially be a maniac!
