Ok, so our posts are generally about the kids but this time, we'll be a little selfish and talk about our recent vacation to Northern California to Wine Country and San Francisco. This is our 2nd trip there...our first was for our 10 year anniversary 1 1/2 years ago. We were lucky to travel with friends Catrice and Nathan this time (SO much more fun with others to share it with!) and to celebrate Jennifer's 36th birthday while there. Woo-hoo!
Yes, we like to taste wine, that is one of the reasons we go, but much more interesting than the wine is the STORY behind the wine. Talking to the winemakers, asking what makes them special, different, etc. We love discovering new (to us) wineries and have enjoyed every time we have been there. Here's some of our favorites from this trip:
Benziger, Buehler, Hanna, Merry Edwards, Hartford, Sebastiani
Then it was off to San Francisco for two nights and we fell in LOVE with that town! It reminds us of New York but more "manageable". :) We did Chinatown, biked across the Golden Gate Bridge, Sausalito, Ghiradelli Square, Lombard Street and rode the Cable Car a few times. From the public transportation, to restaurants, to the shops we really liked the people...very friendly and helpful everywhere we went. You know you had a good time when you are sad to leave.
Thanks for listening...enjoy the photos. More vacation shots will be posted on the photo site soon. Stay tuned!
