O.M.G.

Thanks to Bridget who brought this to my attention. So. Ridiculous.

In anticipation of the upcoming Steelers-Ravens match-up:

Pittsburgh Mayor Ravenstahl changes his name to 'Steelerstahl'

Alamere Falls

in Point Reyes. My sister and I went hiking there over the holidays. A little foggy, but it cleared up nicely and we had a ton of fun. QOTD: Choo-choo! :D














These last two my sister took:


(don't we look cute?)

Pretty Skies...


Happy New Year!

I'd lie and say one of my New Year's resolutions is to be better about blogging, but let's be honest - I tend to get busy and forget! But, I am about to post some great photos since my last blog. At least I think great. :) Enjoy!

Picnic at Crissy Field

It was a beautiful weekend last weekend and several of us decided to take advantage of it - and some yummy yummy cheese from Switzerland direct! Yay! From the lovely views to the yummy food to... wait! some kid peeing with dad's help not 10 feet from us on the beach???

As you can imagine, an afternoon not to be forgotten. :D




A little belated but still so sweet...

The pics say it all...




(heehee, steelers fans are the best-est!)

ahhh, work.

About to start work again after 2 weeks of being off. Should be interesting.

Bt as my vacation comes to an end, I was looking at how much of a slacker I was at updating this blog! Oops. My bad. I'll try to be better about updating it in the future. I didn't realize 2 months had passed!

But, although extremely busy those 2 months, I did manage to have some fun - in Sonoma! Very exciting for me as I normally always go to Napa Valley. Napa is still a great place and my fvaorite wineries as still over there, but, I gotta admit, it's a bit pricey to taste wines over there. And that makes me sad.

Sonoma, while it may not have the big name wineries, has some good places that I have found through wine pairings at dinner in the city. And the maximum tasting fee is $5 which is quite awesome.

Here is my friend Shannon and me at a winery:


Yay vino!

One of the wines that I really like, especially for the price, $24 a bottle, is from Dashe cellars. It's the Zinfandel L'Enfant terrible and it's in the Beaujolais style of wine, so it's young but very drinkable now. We also tried the Papapietro Perry Winery and they had some nice wines too. And they were super nice - they gave us bottles of water!

I'm off to more Dry Creek wineries today. Hurray!
