being the jet-setters we are

Grammy came to visit this week!!!! ...and being the jet-setters we are... we high-fived her at the door and then Matt and I flew off to warm and sunny California.

While Grammy spent Friday through Monday with the kiddos (which included a birthday party, t-ball practice and 2 school Valentine's day parties) Matt and I flew out to California to enjoy the beautiful Napa Valley and also one of my favorite cities, San Francisco. We met up with our good friends, Brad and Ashlie. (It was actually Brad's 'frequent flyer miles' that flew us out there. Thanks Brad!)

We spent our Saturday in Napa Valley and visited three wineries. The valley is Bea-u-tiful!
We could have seen more but we chose to take our time at each one.
Artesa
V. Sattui
and Peju

here we are again
(Matt and I are the tall ones)

Look, Spring blossoms have arrived in California.
(Matt and I are looking off into the California Spring...can't you tell?)
Oh yeah, ...we did spend a whole perfect-weather-of-a-day in the city of San Fransisco but for some reason we didn't take any pictures except for this one.
Our day in SFO consisted of Cable Cars, Ghirardelli Square, the wharf, the beach, the Bart, China Town, the views from our 35th floor hotel room and also numerous restaurants we chose to dine in. It's impossible to fit San Francisco into a single day and I can't wait to go back!


We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in California and now that we are back home we are thoroughly enjoying our week with Grammy. Being the jet-setters we are we'll be back on the road this weekend. This time we'll be taking the whole family, including Grammy, on a trip to beautiful Savannah, GA. I can't wait!

P.S. Thank you for all your comments, e-mails, "facebooks," and phone calls in response to my last post, "Her Mama's Daughter." They really do help me untangle this journey of life and they also encourage me to keep up with the blog. Keep them coming!
