One of the wineries we visited had a nice garden area where we set up the timer on the camera to capture the moment. A few moments earlier we were having a nice picnic lunch and a bird pooped on my arm. Eric thought this was pretty funny! At least it wasn't on my head. It just came down from the tree SPLAT! GROSS! 
During our Honeymoon we ate at a restaurant called The Italian Affair and we went there again on our 5th anniversary. It is an area similar to Uptown in Minneapolis and the restaurant is in a big old house. 
Many of the vineyards we visited had small plants and we noticed that these were huge in comparison. These plants are 70-80 yr old Zinfandel plants often called gnarly for their appearance. 
Heading back over the Golden Gate on our way back to San Francisco!
When we were in California 5 years ago someone told us about a place you can go see whales, so we again headed out to Bodega Bay and the whales stood us up! The scenery was spectacular, but was rather chilly and took our breath away. It felt like it was about 40 degrees with 40 mph winds!
We found this hole in the wall last time we were in San Francisco and had to go back. They don't take credit cards and our dinners together totalled 12.25! 
It has been there since 1947 and I don't think it has changed a bit. You walk up to the food counter and order and they dish it up right in front of you. 
They have over a 100 different beers to choose from and the menu is printed up on this paper. Nothing fancy, but perfect for our last meal in San Francisco. We were still tasting it this morning. We had a red eye flight from San Francisco and got back about 5:30 this morning. Two hours of sleep and we got back to our boys! 
On our way out of San Francisco I finally got my cupcake from Kara's! Delicious! We took it to the airport and you can see the box isn't so pretty anymore! I ate it at the airport, because it would not have made it home. Maybe someday I will go back to San Francisco and Kara's will still be there. I have a hard time believing a shop can sustain itself on selling just cupcake's, but she's in the right market:-) You could buy these little 6 packs that came in a long box..that would've never made it back to MN! If you are in San Francisco..check it out!
The boys had a great time with the grandparents, but they were really glad to have us home. Thank you to the grandparents for taking great care of them while we were gone! We know it was not easy:-)
