Trip to San Francisco - Napa Valley

We just got back from a wonderful trip to California! We spent the first half of the trip in the beautiful wine country, Napa Valley. We were flown out there so Jason could officiate the wedding of our friend Jim McGuire to his beautiful bride Lita. There wasn't a single part to the wedding that wasn't just gorgeous. We felt so blessed to be a part of their special day. My mom also joined us. She helped in watching Preston while we were at all the wedding activities. Thanks Mom for coming! The wedding at the Harvest Inn. The vineyards were the backdrop.
Part of the reception area. This is where we ate dinner under the setting sun. Perfect weather!
J's new car.
Just kidding. He was driving it as a favor. There is an on-going theme though. For some reason every time we are in California he gets to drive awesome cars. Like last year he drove a brand new Ferrari. He didn't enjoy that at all!
Our table at the rehearsal dinner.
The Little man.
Eating at Taylor's Refresher...a cute little place with lots of picnic tables to enjoy the scenery.

Enjoying the vineyards!
A quick pic taken at Mustard's. (Another excellent restaurant in Napa Valley)

Picture taken at Sequoia Grove Winery under the hundred year old Sequoia Trees.

Beautiful vineyards. It's hard to describe just how pretty everything was.
The leaves are already starting to change colors.

And we actually got to wear sweaters and jackets. This is a new concept for us Texans.


oh yes! I can't make a trip to Cali without my fix of In-n-out burger.
First airplane ride!
Our convertible. You see The Bleeckers suggested that we get a convertible in Napa for our rental car because it's just perfect weather there. So instead of getting a convertible we rode around with the windows down and the door open! Same thing, right? ;)
