Nice to Meet You...Again.

What a GREAT weekend we had in the gorgeous wine country of CA.
After 7 straight weeks of sickness in our house
and an average of 3 hours of sleep at night during those weeks
Mommy and Daddy wanted to have a little fun...
ok, and maybe sleep some too.
(Enter "wine")
It was such a memorable time
full of good food, great wine, and the bestest of friends.
We highly recommend this trip.
But you must spend at least one night with the Scales Family
and then take the Schlegels with you too, of course.
Oh yeah, and you need a Nana that's willing to give up 4 days of her time!
My mom is the best.
Life-long friends
Reunited, FINALLY!
Ending a long day of travel with a refreshing night of "girl gab" with Jan and the girls.
Frank took us on a tour of K-LOVE's headquarters too. Great night of family fun!
I miss you already!!!

This was the coolest little market we stumbled upon...
and the fastest lunch I've ever (well, halfway) eaten.

Anyone know where we can get some wine around here??

Christian Brothers Monastery next to the Hess Collection Winery.
This was by far our favorite vineyard.

The other love birds.
Now this picture is normal but the Cakebread Vineyard quickly turned into Jamie and Steven's catwalk.

Thanks for all the laughs you two!

Our last day, saying goodbye to the incredible scenery.


Carneros Domain,known for their sparkling wine.

We found this vineyard on our way to the airport.

More Carneros...whoa mama.


So as Thanksgiving approaches, I find myself feeling so full already. How grateful I am for a deep, fun friendship with my husband and to be surrounded by good friends who love God more than anything else in this life. Thank you Lord, the Giver of every good gift. And Kev, it was so nice to meet you...again;)
