Grammie and JoePa Visit!

My parents had this trip planned for awhile but when my uncle passed away we weren't sure if they would be able to make it out.


It all worked out and it was great for my Dad to get away from everything he was having to deal with and get some time with Riley (and us I guess) to cheer him up...if this girl can't put a smile on your face than I don't know what will!


They got in late Thursday evening and we were trying to make it to PF Changs before they closed...when leaving the airport the highways can be a bit tricky and J took a wrong turn and before we knew it and before we could get out of it we were on the Bay Bridge and we were committed...oops! Normally an accidental trip to San Francisco would mean a great meal but it was nearly 9:00 and we didn't know what would be open so we just headed home and had a very late meal at Chili's...it was a fun adventure!


The weather couldn't have been more yucky the ENTIRE weekend but we made the best of it and just enjoyed our time together!


Riley got to go to a movie on Friday with Grammie and JoePa...they saw Gnomeo and Juliet and had a great time!

Friday night we took my parents to one of our local favorite finds...Vintage Cafe. It's in Suisun Valley just a short drive from our house and next to a few wineries. It's quaint and the food is delish!


We took a bottle of Oak Chardonnay that we had purchased from Mondavi and decided this was the night to uncork this great bottle and share it over dinner...it was some of the best wine I have ever had...worth every penny!


JoePa and his girl!



Me and the hubs...


Grammie and Riley



It was such a fun night and a scrumptious dinner!


When we got home guess who put on the "princess hair?"



Saturday morning we relaxed and decided to head to Bab's for breakfast...another one of our favorite finds! We had a great breakfast on a rainy day and then headed home to all take naps :)

Riley felt it very important to get her morning stretches in...my Dad had his bands to stretch his torn rotator cuff and she loved playing with it!







Check out these twinkies in their almost matching shirts!


After nap time we headed up to base to do some bowling!


It was so much fun...we had some healthy competition going on and Miss Riley was right in the middle of it!


Our girl is so inquisitive she was watching everyone bowl and she noticed how people crossed their leg back after letting the ball go and so she started doing it on every one of her turns...it was the cutest thing!



Getting some help from JoePa!



After bowling Grammie and JoePa babysat while Jason and I went on a date...woohoo!


It was a yucky, rainy, cold weekend but we had the best time.


We love when Grammie and JoePa get to come visit and play!
