It's official, I'm back. I was almost ready to quite and shut down my blog because of my inconsistency... however, I did not throw in the towel... and I'm committed to keep blogging.
We also finally made it a point to visit this "castle" winery that I'd heard of. It's called Castello di Amrosa. It was gorgeous! It truly is a castle with hidden tunnels, a huge courtyard in the center, a drop down plank bridge entrance... very, very cool. Can't wait to go back to this one!
Well, toodles! Gotta run now! I will try to give you some more daily updates!
So since I've kept you all out of the loop for so long, I'll give you a quick run down of the last few months!
Most recently, we've been enjoying our 2nd fall in California. It has been absolutely gorgeous...about 70-80 degrees in November! Unbelievable! I sure don't miss that cool bite of the Indiana wind.
So we've been out and about a lot lately. We've been doing a lot of pumpkin carving, partaking of all the fine fall delictable foods and out sight seeing in the vineyards and wine country.
Here are some recent pics of our trip over to Napa. I absolutely love that we live so close to Napa. Right now is the peak season to visit all the wineries as you can see the grapes are full on the vine.
We visited 2 wineries that particular day, Franks Family Vineyard was our first. Here is a pic of Mark & Max outside Franks..
We also finally made it a point to visit this "castle" winery that I'd heard of. It's called Castello di Amrosa. It was gorgeous! It truly is a castle with hidden tunnels, a huge courtyard in the center, a drop down plank bridge entrance... very, very cool. Can't wait to go back to this one!
There were absolutely gorgeous views from every tower overlooking all the vineyards. Speaking of views, last weekend Mark, Max & I ventured over to Walnut Creek (about 30-40 mins away) to visit Mt. Diablo. This is one of the highest points/altitudes in the Bay Area.
Before we embarked on all of our fall ventures, we celebrated Max's 1st B-day! Boy did we have a "BALL". We hosted him a "BALL" themed party at our house, on his b-day, Sat., Oct. 10th.
Max's first word was BALL and he has always been fascinated with balls more than any other toy. Enough said. Here are some pics of his party.
Lastly, I leave you with a cute pic of Max & PaPaw when they were out on the boat during that same trip. What a cute pic!
Well, toodles! Gotta run now! I will try to give you some more daily updates!
