Trip to the Wine Country

On Saturday we headed up to Sonoma with Danielle & Steve, who were visiting from San Diego. It was a beautiful, clear day. We stopped at the Golden Gate bridge and in Sausalito for brunch. Then we went to the Sonoma visitor center which had some cool modern art (like the blue plastic ball tree).



We hit some great wineries and found a fabulous Zinfandel at the Mayo family winery.

Our Visit to Carmel

This blog post is appearing three months later, but Josh's cousins just scanned the pictures to us (I dont know where our digital cameras were).

So back in July we went down to Carmel with the pups to visit Josh's first cousin Scott, his wife Michelle & their kids. We went to Cannery Row for wine tasting (yum). We went to Big Sur (breathtaking!!) & Pebble Peach (the 17 mile drive- beautiful!).

Here we're chilling at the Big Sur River Inn after a delicious lunch!

Here we are in front of the Bixby Creek Bridge on Highway 1 in Big Sur:

Here are Michelle, Scott & Josh on the 17 mile drive in Pebble Beach stopping to check out some deer:

If you come to visit for a little while, this is a must see stop (Pebble beach is about 3 hours & Big Sur is about 4 hours away).

Family Reunion in Atlanta

Well we are just the traveling fools :). This past weekend we went to Atlanta to visit my family. We celebrated Anna's Bat Mitzvah (she wrote a beautiful speech & everyone cried).


There are a lot of girls in my family (you could say thats an understatement). Here's a picture of the 13 cousins:


We also celebrated my Grandma & Grandpa's 63rd wedding anniversary! Here are my sisters, Kari & Nina, with our Grandpa & Josh:


Here is my Grandma (on the right) with my great Aunt Margie:


Saturday night at Alyssa & Marty's was a lot of fun because they have a lot of toys to play with...here are just a couple:


But of course the best was just hanging out all together. Josh & I stayed at my sister Nina & her boyfriend Max's apartment along with my new step sister Audrey & my sister Kari & her husband Ami.

Max is a big fan of threadless shirts too:

Here are Nina & Audrey:


Heres my Mom & Larry:
