And we're back! We had such a blast in California. The weather was absolutely perfect. I have so many pictures to post, so I'll do a little at at time :)
Our first stop was Napa Valley. The landscape there is unbelievable. Endless hills of vineyards. The air smelled like wine in the entire valley because it is harvest season and the fermenting of the grapes just fills the air. Time seemed to move so slowly and everything was so laid back and peaceful! We spent our time there in a beautiful little historic town called St. Helena where we window shopped for a while, then we went to a few vineyards to go wine tasting. 
The second day, we ended up at probably the best winery ever! We stopped to do a little wine tasting, and we decided to split it so that we didn't get too much to drink :) Our server was so much fun though and she gave us about 12 samplings although we only paid for 6. Oh well, she did her job well because we ended up buying a few bottles to take home. Mmmmmm.
V. Sattui vineyards are so beautiful and they have their own cheese/deli store on site, so we did some wine tasting, bought some yummy wine, fresh bread, cheese and salami, and took it onto the grass for a picnic.
Here's the picnic...doesn't it all look so yummy? Mmmm. It was so delicious.
Isn't this just the cutest picture ever? I think we sat in the grass for about five hours. It was so relaxing sitting under the trees, laughing and having a great time doing absolutely nothing.
Remember that beautiful "before" picture of the food? This is what it looked like after. Definitely one of my favorite memories of the trip.

Ohhhh...I want to go back now. What a great trip...thanks for being our hang out buddies...
Nothing like artisan bread, cheese, salami, and wine! What a great experience! Napa is a blast! Jen and I are going to crack one of the bottles we bought at Stag's Leap in 2004 in the very near future. Hopefully to celebrate something. I love the after-food massacre pic. That pic of Tam and Dave is really great. Yours too, but the action shot is something special in its own realm. They look wine-happy :)
Also, loved the Sigur Ros song. If you like Sigur Ros, you should definitely check out their movie - Heima. - Antonio
It looks like so much fun!! I love that pic of Tam and Dave too : )
oh and all those grapevines make me think of Los Andes... so pretty!
Mmmm, cheese and bread. Wine? *gag*
