Anniversary Trip to California!

For our 2nd anniversary, Jared and I took a trip to California.  We stayed a couple of days in San Francisco, then headed up to Napa for a few days.  It was such a great trip!  We hadn't been on vacation together since our honeymoon!  Thought we'd share a few shots of our trip with everyone!  Already planning the next adventure...


Sorry about so many photos, but I couldn't decide on just a few!!!

"What are you looking at???"


The sea lions at Pier 39


This guy was so funny, he reminded us of Dexter!



We ended up leaving Jared's taffy in the glove compartment of the rental car!  We are on the plane home, he's listening to his headphones, when he realizes that we forgot it, turns to me and with headphones still on YELLS out that we forgot the taffy!


"Delicious clam chowder, get in my mouth!"


This is how to ride in style

Sailboats at the Bay


The only time we had to break out the rain jackets, luckily!



View of the foggy bay


I totally lucked out with this shot!  The crappy weather ended up being perfect for photography!


Jared likes to stop and smell the flowers every now and again!



The turning of the cable cars


This is why I wouldn't stand on the outside of the cable cars...thought I might lose my tush!

Chateau Montelena, from the movie 'Bottle Shock'



Jared took a stroll through the vines at Frog's Leap


Grapes ready for harvest!


This was at Frog's Leap, it was my favorite!  So pretty!  It was all organic and sustainable, and had been LEED certified.  Plus, they donated to the Flood Relief Auction to help out Cedar Rapids!

WEEEEEEEE!  We loved the convertible while touring Napa!


This is some of the artwork at Artesa, another one of my favorites

Jared doing what Jared does best...being Jared!!!


"...and that's the truth..."





Roshambo...another favorite!  Super funky and fun, and relaxed!


Viansa, which is one of Jared's favorites.  Love the wine!


Cliff Lede


Goosecross...this one surprised us, and was super fun!



Del Dotto.  Here we actually did the tour, it was of the caves and we got to taste straight from the barrel.  Excellent wine here!




Until next time, Napa!
