Do you recall our annual St. George Girl's Trip?
For the past 4 summers, my mom, sisters, and I have all headed to our St. George house for a week long girl's vacation. You can check out those fabulous trips here, you know, if you're totally bored.- 2009, 2010, 2011, & 2012.
This year, a far along pregnancy (mine) threatened to destroy this sacred tradition. But we weren't about to let that happen! My mom and sisters decided it would be the perfect year to have a Girl's Trip in California!
So, they headed out here to my house for a week. I have to admit that I missed being in St. George at times, but we had a total blast here and I'm extremely grateful that everyone was willing to sacrifice that trip and come here instead just for me. It was hot (we have no A/C) and sometimes crowded, but I think we made it one of our best trips yet!
In that week, I took 250 pictures....Uh, woah.
You ready to bear with me as I post it all and tell you about our fun?
Okay...here goes!
Presenting...
The 5th Annual PAYNE GIRL'S TRIP 2013!!!!
(Everyone got here late Saturday night. Sunday we attended church and then just chilled at my house.)

MUIR WOODS & SAUSALITO
It was so fun to take the girls to this beautiful place. The weather couldn't have been better and we enjoyed a little 1 hour, 1 mile walk enjoying the surroundings. Drake was a stink running all over the place, but what's new. :) Obviously, I am VERY pregnant and just love looking at these pictures of myself...blegh...but it's fun memories I want to have documented.
We are very serious when we are together...yep-
After Muir Woods, we headed to Sausalito for the evening- another favorite place of mine that I just had to show these gals. We did some clothes and souvenir shopping and just enjoyed the atmosphere. I love Sausalito!
Making a wish in the fountain!
^^^Grandma Sheri bought Drake a few little fun toys/souvenirs and Drake was hilarious carrying around this bag everywhere and never letting it out of his sight. He would take everything out and then put it back in. He makes me laugh, that boy!
Isn't the view here breathtaking! San Francisco is in the distance, behind the fog.
We ate dinner at Scoma's (the blue restaurant behind us). It's a really nice place with amazing seafood- thanks so much Mom (& Dad) for treating us!
And during dinner (and whenever possible during this trip), I drooled over my sweet niece and her beautiful smiles.
Such a beautiful first day of our trip!
