SF and Napa, July, 2012

If you follow my blog, you must know we went to California a few weeks ago and I posted about San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf and the Golden Gate last week.

After walking around those areas, my niece Stephanie drove us along Lombard St. where the crookedest street is located. I cannot count how many times I have gone through there but I always oooh and aaah everytime I see it. Just look at that spectacular view!

 And the houses are stunning!

 And look at the landscaping! How can they have it all? DH said he would not want to live there because cars and tourists are always passing by, lol. I wouldn't mind though, if I am surrounded with that beauty. How about you?

 I love the hydrangeas and the bouganvilles. Such pretty colors!

 We finally reached the bottom and I just had to look back one more time.

 Then my nephew called and wanted us to meet them at the Outlet Mall in Vacaville. On our way there, we passed by Napa Valley and passed by gorgeous view of the wineries.

 But when we saw this winery called Domain Carneros, we had to get down to take pictures and absorb its beauty.

 The view was simply breathtaking! Did I mention that my almost 94 year old (will be on July 24) mother was traveling with us? There she is with one of my sisters.

John is wearing blue so that qualifies for Blue Monday in addition to the blue sky, right?

 This is my youngest brother, Vic and his wife, Che.

 Our chauffeur and niece, Stephanie. You would think she lives in California giving us a tour, but she lives in Chicago.

"Romeo and Juliet" after years of being together, lol!

Aren't these grapes just gorgeous and bountiful?

This was our destination, the Outlet Mall in Vacaville. My nephew and his wife wanted us to meet them here. Look at that full moon!

Here are my 2 sisters and me at Michael Kors. John wanted to take our picture while shopping, lol. I considered buying that MK purse.

But I got this instead. Same size and style but I think this one with alligator skin is more practical and I can use it everyday. Besides, I just bought a Coach purse with snake skin.

Thanks so much for traveling along.

Thanks ladies, for hosting!

BTW, I would like to add this. The reason we went to California was to attend my nephew and his wife's silver wedding anniversary. My mom and all my brothers and sisters also came. Here I am with my mom and sisters. Doesn't my mom look good? She will be 94 on the 24th of this month. I hope I inherit her skin, hardly any wrinkles at her age.
