During my parents' visit, we did a day trip to Monterey and Big Sur on the CA coast and another shorter day trip to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods. It was easy to bring Emily along since she slept most of the time.
The following weekend we hosted a party so our friends could visit and meet Emily.
We took Emily on her first overnight trip to Reno, NV over Christmas weekend where her parents enjoyed the casino buffets and took turns skiing at Mt. Rose ski resort.
