Wine Country in pics...

Our Trip to California

One of the many vinyards that we visited. Not sure which one, just know it was in Napa Valley

This could be a different one in Napa Valley. I lost count as to how many we went to see while we were in California. LOTS...smile. I had NO idea that there were so many vineyards in California.

This was located in the Town of Sabastopol. We visited this shop while we were staying in the Napa Valley area. This was one of my most memorable days there. I loved this shop! Just wish we had something like this in my area. It was a resale shop (second hand shop) selling nothing but CRAFT supplies. It felt like heaven on earth, except for one thing. I didn't have much room in my suitcase, so I could NOT buy much...:-(





I was fascinated by this Purple house, and yes that's me taking a pic, So many of the photos my husband took of me, I'm holding a camera. So many of the pictures I took of him had him holding a camera. When I looked at these photos yesterday....I IMMEDIATELY STARTED A DIET!

Hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane, might show more later...Don't worry, I won't show you all 1000+ photos.







Whenever I see the words "Wine Country" it makes me think of our vacation to California several years ago. It was the BEST vacation I have ever had. Truly a Dream Vacation. We visited Napa Valley, Carmel, San Luis Obispo Bay, and San Francisco.









The only thing that I did not like about the trip was flying. It was only my second time in a plane. I did NOT like it the first time, and the second time even less...smile.









However, there were no plane delays, no lost luggage, no problems with any of the four places we stayed in. An almost perfect vacation. I say almost perfect, because I did become ill on two of the days of the trip. But otherwise, the best vacation EVER!









I'm sharing a few of the pics from that vacation.. All together I think we took over a 1000 pictures.

  3. Beautiful pictures Jill! I've been up there once for a wedding since we've lived here in So. Cal., but I'd like to go back for a real visit!

    I love the purple house! It reminds me of the gingerbread houses on Marth's Vinyard on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.

    BTW...I love pink too!
