California Road Trip

Bernie and I just got back from a week long road trip to California for his best friends wedding. We could not have had a better time. In the almost nine years that we have been together we have never gone on a true road trip together unless you count Vancouver or Eastern Washington (and we don't). We had so much time in the car to talk with no interruptions from the kids or any schedules to keep, we just went at our own pace. We spent one night in Oregon and then headed to Fresno for the wedding. The first day we got in we went jet skiing at the local river which was a ton of fun. For once I was the daredevil in the relationship I think I got up to 70mph at one point :) The next couple of days the guys golfed and us girls sat by the pool, seriously it was rough :) The wedding was absolutely gorgeous taking place at the brides grandmothers home which looked straight out of old Hollywood with every house on at least an acre. Brie, the bride seriously did not let a single detail go unplanned it was absolutely breathtaking and everyone had such a great time.

After all of the wedding festivities we continued our road trip and headed to Sonoma. I think everyone should go there once in their life it is absolutely beautiful. We had amazing wines, views, and relaxation. I think we stocked our wine bar for a long, long time and joined a few wine clubs along the way. We both felt as though this trip was like a second honeymoon and have since decided that we need to make a point of taking one trip a year just the two of us. Now back to the real world :)

A huge thank you to Bernie's parents who took on our two little ones plus the dog for the entire week. The girls seemed to behave like little angels (let's hope it stays that way) and Ella even began napping again which she hasn't done in over a year! Way to go Nanny and Gramps :)
