S/O Hax. Kids, weddings, Central CA

[Cicero]

We have a wedding to go to in CA. Jr. Is invited but I don't want to bring him because what is the point of bringing him across the country to ruin a fun night out? I might leave him with my parents but if they end up flying out for the wedding as well that won't be an option.

Is there anyone in the area who might be able to recommend someone?

ETA: Because I am an idiot I forgot to include that the wedding is in Monterey.

[WOT?*]

Um, where in Central Cali?  It's a big place.

[meshaliuknits]

Yes! We went to a wedding in Carmel (nearby) and we used VIP Babysitting. It was recommended by the venue. BabyLiu had a grand time with her sitter. Asked about her for days.

I was feeling bad for her for a minute thinking she had to go to Visalia or something. My recommendation was gonna be to skip it.

That's what I was thinking. Visalia, my sister or nieces. Fresno, my nieces. Between the two of us, we'd have the whole armpit covered.

I will say that Monterey is less exciting than when I thought it was in San Francisco.

BIL and SIL's mom lives in Lodi and has been trying to get us to come visit for a while so we'll probably be going for more than just the weekend.

We are!  Is a trip to SF on your agenda?! Maybe we can rope in pescalita too.  When are you coming??

I may know people who can help on the sitter front.  I need to ask H who is out of town at the moment. If I don't get back to you in a week, you can message me to remind me.

asomewhere with wine please.

[ESF]

If you guys are really going to be in SF, we should do a GTG here

www.pressclubsf.com/

They have tasting flights of lots of boutique-y local wineries.


ETA - their set up has changed quite a bit since I last went so there's less of a local focus, but there is still tons of wine.  And beer!

I was MOH in a wedding in Visalia once. That whole town smells like curdled milk. And I was first tri pregnant to boot. I wanted to vomit pretty much every second I was there. 

[tres3]

If the bride is a good nestie she probably has a babysitting service name that you can call to arrange a sitter ;-)

[kadams767]

I have nothing useful to add except I thought this was an actual Ask Carolyn and someone wanted a random sample of readers from central ca. to recommend a sitter.
