Yet Another Kid-Free Trip

It feels like we hardly take the kids with us anymore, but we'll take advantage of the stress-free traveling.  Since Steve has been going to this conference for years now we were running out of things to see in San Fran, so we planned to take a trip up to Napa for some wine time.  We were able to fly into San Jose and sneak in some Thompson time before we headed to wine country.

We landed Thursday and spent the day hanging with Baby Cal Cal and Carrie before heading to Napa Friday morning.  
 Our first winery - a little family place!
 Another tasting at Cake Bread
 Awwwww

After a few wine tastings we drove to downtown Napa to stay the night in the heart of the quaint town.  We watched a concert in the park and had a few beers on the river.
 Best photo bomb!

Napa was nice but quite touristy and pricey.  I'm glad we saw it but I think we'll opt for low-key scenic Sonoma next time.

We left Saturday morning and drove to Sausalito to enjoy the beautiful weather!

After Carrie & Josh left we went to the city and did a little shopping and had a nice dinner in North Beach.  That night we were awoken at 3:30 by the earthquake.  By the time it was over I figured out what it was, but being from Colorado, we weren't sure if we were supposed to evacuate and run into the street screaming or what.  I figured it was probably just a little earthquake that happens frequently, but it turned out to be a pretty big one.  We were thankful we weren't in downtown Napa that night!  So we survived our first earthquake!

Sunday morning we woke up to do a 5k race sponsored by Steve's conference.  I was excited to actually race in another state with such a spectacular view!  We rocked it, finishing in under 24 minutes (PR).  After a nice chowder bread bowl it was off to the airport to see my babies.
