Napa and more fun!

While my parents were here they celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary so we planned a day in Napa while Riley went to play with her buddy Braden!

We started off with lunch at the infamous Rutherford Grill!

We ate lunch on the patio and enjoyed the great weather and the great food!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

After lunch we headed to Cakebread...it was beautiful and they gave us a complimentary tasting but it was not our favorite!

Next stop was V. Sattui which is always a loud happening place! We tasted next to some Aussies and next thing you know he is telling us Texas jokes...we had a blast!

Next stop was St. Superi...we met up with the Rick's and the Cramer's and Hannah shot a few shots of us in the vines!

Jason was there too...in spirit!

Me, Erin, and Hannah with their two cute boys Sammy and Ollie!

We tasted upstairs in the members only area and had such a good time..I think they convinced us to become members there too!

Last stop was Mumm...a sparkling winery with a great view!

We tagged along with the Cramer fam and had a lot of fun!

Ollie was entertaining himself with corks...he takes "put a cork in it" to a whole new level...love this boy!

That was the end of our day in Napa...many glasses of wine later...good thing we had a hearty lunch!

We were so excited to get Riley and she had a blast all day with Braden running around in the sprinklers and such!

We made paninis and played in the backyard the rest of the evening!

Sunday morning my Dad had to head back home so us girls decided to check out Tilden Park on the way back...it's in Berkeley and I had heard great things about it!

Being that San Francisco is infamous for its rolling fog our morning walk was literally in the clouds as we started at the very top at Inspiration Point and the fog was so thick we had no idea what the view looked like!

We walked for a good two hours and it was amazing!

We came across this huge area of Eucalyptus trees and the aroma was incredible!

By the time we made it back to the car the fog had started to life, the sun was starting to shine, and we could see a good bit of the fantastic view from the top!

Love this girl...she was good on the walk...she entertained herself in her stroller and roughed it twice as she pottied in the bushes!

As if this park wasn't cool enough they also have a carousel and a petting zoo...it's a huge park and we were starving so we took a quick ride on the carousel and headed out!

We ate in Berkeley at a Crepe restaurant and it was so good...tons of food!

Once we got home Riley took a good nap and I got to get out and run errands BY MYSELF...amazing! Jason had a few things he needed for his trip home so I had lots of stops to make so I could get it all together to head out on the rotator the next morning!

Once I got home we headed to the pool and Riley had a blast showing Grammie all her new pool skills!

And this mama got to lay in a lounge chair and do my Bible study...glorious!

Thanks mom!

Riley got to play with Grammie all day Monday and my mom got to meet the Bible babes that night as we hosted the study at my house!

My mom did most of the cooking this time with a theme...apricots!

You see we have two apricot trees in our backyard and the dogs love them..as in I caught Hank jumping up, pulling on a branch and shaking it until the apricots would fall off and then he and Kadie scarfed them down. Since my pooper scooper is gone I have had to take over that duty and let me tell you...I am sick of the apricots...and the horrid amount of apricot poop!

So my mom picked a TON of apricots and created concoctions with them..yummy ones! One night we had an apricot tart...and for Bible study she made apricot bars and spicy apricot jelly that we poured over cream cheese! I am happy to report that I think the apricot trees are done bearing fruit...just in time for the pooper scooper to come home! :)

We had a great visit with my parents...love you guys!
