Up to the Bay Area to visit Niece Hannah

I got a good amount of outlet shopping done (and also came home with a Le Creuset Dutch Oven, yeah!!), but I also spent quality time with Hannah, my 20 month old niece. Get ready for some gratuitous cute baby photos!

My sister and Hannah on the merry-go-round at Happy Hollow Park and Zoo:

Hannah looooves holding Yooni the shih tzu in her lap, but I'm not sure if Yooni enjoys it as much as Hannah does:
