~Our Trip to Cali~

Mom and Grandma
The three of us. Grandma treated us to lunch in Napa.
We had a lovely bus ride to and from Napa. It brought lot's of memories back to Ben from when he was in Brazil.
We spent an afternoon swimming. Bentley of course loved it. It was an awesome pool and it was right on the grounds of the Veterans Home.
Love the palm trees at her home.

Of course while we were so close to San Francisco we had to go tour. Ben has never been their either so I wanted him to go to Frisco. This was Bentley third trip here FYI.
I had to get a monkey pack. People probably think I'm crazy, but how busy and filled with strangers the city is I new I wouldn't loose him with it! Plus I really think its cute. He did get alot of pictures of himself taken. I guess they don't have the monkey pack in Japan or France. He got alot of laughs.:)
Daddy and Bentley.
This is Alcatraz . We cruised by it on our bay cruise.
So this is Michael's look alike. We saw him and thought that's totally him when his hair was longer. I had to take a picture to show Ire and Michael of course.

So we went on a cruise around the Golden Gate Bridge. This is the lovely city.
The famous Bridge.
Bentley and I (lovely headphones right?)
Going under the bridge.
Mom and Dad going under the bridge. I learned some cool facts. The Golden Gate is the longest suspension bridge. They did not think they could build it. And for you sailor's out their (Ben T.), If you can sail under the bridge its called breaking the bridge and only the best sailor's can make it all the way through. I guess its really windy.

Then we went North of Napa to Calistoga. Such a cute town. It was so cozy. We went and saw the Old Faithful of CA. It was pretty cool. It goes off naturally (of course) every 45 min. and the water is like 300 degrees.

Before.....
After....

It was such a pretty drive their. Seriously all that lines the roads are grapevines. Winery after winery after winery. Some of the most beautiful country.
We had an awesome time on our trip and I was so glad to see my Grandma and Heidi and Brando for some reason I didn't get a picture of them. I can't wait to go again... Ben needs to go again so he can prove to me that he can be a happy and patient travelor. Sorry but he was worse than Bentley. I think its because he never went on road trip's until he married me. We'll try it again!
