Thanksgiving 2016

We love sharing the holidays with family and most years, we celebrate Thanksgiving at Camile and Jan's house.  This year was extra special because it was little Nikki's first  TG with the family.

The Maiden Voyage

We are so excited to finally own the RV of our dreams.  We've saved and saved for many years and now it's finally here.  Here is a look at our very first trip.  We stayed at Vale Lake in Temecula.  You may remember that we stayed there last June for a birthday party. 

Here She is!!!

 And a new truck to tow her.

Off road exploring anyone? 

 The lake was really low.  No rain in sight.

 Still a beautiful view though.

Some of the views from camp

 Below is a shot of the lower camp

The girls LOVE our new rig. 

Can't wait to share more with you.

Bitter Sweet

I had the privilege of hanging out with my friend Patrice for the day and taking some final shots of one of her precious pups who's been diagnosed with severe cancer.  Only a few days remaining for her.  I also took a few shots of Patrice because she's GORGEOUS!  Here's a look at our day.

Romance and a Rendezvous With My Man . Sonoma California

We were blessed to take this amazing trip together.  Here are a few shots of where we stayed.  It's called Auto Camp.   You could rent one of these great bikes and visit nearby wineries or just tool around town and take in the breathtaking views of the redwoods.

Here's a look at the community area.  So much fun.  Every evening the guests returned to camp and brought back wine to share by the fire.  We met so many nice people.

The outside fire pit.

Look at this amazing wall inside the club room.

The Matrix.  We met some great friends here.  Frank and Dianne Wilson

 Our absolute favorite winery.  MacRostie

Check out our view

We drove the back road to the city of Healdsberg and fell in love. First, breakfast at the River Inn.

The Spa Hotel

And oh my.... The Russian River.  So gorgeous

 The golf course was unbelievable.

We also headed down to the coast one day to the famous little town of Bodega Bay where The Hitchcock film, The Birds was filmed.   We even ate lunch at the Tides Restaurant.

This famous shot has been in many commercials and films.

On the way back to Gurneville, we stopped at this adorable little town.

Great trip.  I'd love to go back.
