4 days home and had to leave again for my cousin Mark's Wedding in Napa...crazy the girls got to JetSuite again :) The plan was to leave Thursday after work. Wednesday night the update comes out for LV to San Jose, but leaving early by 11am, both Jay and I had to work still so Dee and Matt took them and since mom and dad were already there for the wedding, they watched the girls til we picked them up. Had to have a talk with Jayson about him not being able to fly since he was so upset because they would get sprite :) After we told him he could have whatever he wants, he was fine.
They obviously had more fun with Auntie Dee!
as soon as we got to Napa went straight to the pool
dinner rehearsal time at Viansa Winery...ceremony was out here in the front
while the girls were reahearsing we had some wine and ice-cream, so different now that they are older, don't have to stay with them and worry about them walking down the isle...almost time for them to retire :)
winery was beautiful
got to meet newest cousin DJ
dinner was at :)
the Ragaza brothers
later that night we all got together to do s'mores
and listen to Isa and Maya play the ukulele while the rest of us sang...they are so good!
girl cousin pic
the girls with the beautiful bride Tania
the girls waved butterfly wands and the little one carried a sign that said "here comes the bride" and then "and they lived happily ever after"
reception was beautiful inside a big white tent with gold and purple butterflies
was good to have the outdoors so close, so the kids could run around and play
in addition to one of the best wedding cakes ever, a smore's bar outside
was the perfect wedding, I think the one I cried the most at...mother's speech, mark's speech to Tania, brothers played/sang a song for them, so good! Congrats Mark and Tania!
brunch was fun the next day filled with all kinds of animal heads, duck, chicken and fish...yum:)
Spent the rest of the week at Melissa's...went to check out Santa Cruz, hadn't been in forever...much more fun now that the kids are bigger and can ride rides
but they can't seem to walk :)
girls loved this, rode it twice...roller coaster below was okay, the bigger one on the second level was a little much for Jaylin
of course had to have boardwalk food...already had funnel cake, but then Jay also got deep fried everything...twinkie, pb & j and oreos...pb& j was the best...but was sick that night :)
was able to meet up for Shirley's birthday...looks like we're in a parking lot, but were actually in a pretty cute place, Naglee Park Garage...outside seating was pretty small, but it was nice out and they had music
also got to meet up with old Williams Sonoma friends, always nice to see them, it's like nothing's changed :)
such a yummy steak, noodle, mango salad at Houstons now called Hillstone, definitely going back for that!
after lunch met up with Jay and the kids at Pier 39, played in the arcade, got cotton candy...swear Jayme had cotton candy everyday of vacation :)
stopped at the Ferry Building...never been so wanted to check it out as I heard they had good coffee and chocolate
always a surprise to see these, especially since I didn't realize miette had them
they were good, different then other places, regardless of the flavor inside they all had an almond outside...will definitely be going back to the Ferry Building since we didn't have much time to spend there...I didn't like Blue Bottle coffee though, was pretty but didn't taste good :(
Friday was Great America Day with cousins, so much fun now with the water side, especially because of the slides
didn't have to worry about losing Jaylin, her suit was neon coral, didn't realize how bright it was til she wore it outside :)
family raft was so fun, could fit all five of us :) of course had to make them go again so I could get some pics cause it was just so fun :)
water playground was cool, super cold water though
even though we have Boiling Crab at home, still have to have it before we leave :) ordered to go at Melissa's and Grace and Ralph and Rosalynn came by to visit
deguzmans always have fun in the bay, hope to be back soon!
on the road trip home found this! So exciting, since my name is never anywhere :)
