We just spent an amazing weekend in Napa and San Francisco. Gary surprised me with the whole thing. Flew into Oakland on Friday and drove to Napa. We stayed at the Westin Verasa while there...what an amazing hotel! Not only was it beautiful, but the employees were top notch! We wine tasted all day and Friday and had a chance to visit with Pete, an old friend who is a winemaker there. We had such a great time tasting...I can't wait to go back! Saturday morning the surprises continued. Gary scheduled a couples massage at a local Napa spa, so we were relaxed and ready for our drive to San Francisco. We spent the day in the city walking and taking in the sites. Our hotel, Le Meredien, was just a block away from the Trans America building and had an outstanding view of the bay. We dodged the rain all weekend and it was only a slight problem on Sunday morning. We had planned to do some more walking, but opted instead to spend a romantic morning in our room. We flew home on Sunday and spent the evening celebrating my upcoming birthday with my parents. It was a perfect weekend!
The kids continue to do well. Still waiting for soccer to start for Jake. He is doing well in school and is (of course!) well liked by his teacher. He is involved in the GATE program and loves to read...just like his mom! Alyssa is falling more and more in love with London. I skyped with her today, though, and she is definitely missing our weather! She has grown so much in the past two months. Keep your fingers crossed, or say a prayer for her (whichever you prefer)...she applied to the photography program at BYU and will find out in April if she is accepted. Maybe I am biased, but I think she deserves a spot!!!
Wishing everyone health and happiness :-)
