Sonoma in the Fall

Steve and I got to spend a week in Sonoma in September. I am just a little behind in my posts. We actually stayed at the Fairmont where we met and got engaged.

We began our trip having lunch at a winery.

Steve began his business meetings, while. . .

I hung out at the pool. I decided that I would not spend my time running around since we get to Sonoma a few times a year.

Tuesday night is the famous Sonoma Farmer's Market. Enjoyed tasting all the local food. Reminiscent of our Summers in Sonoma.

Thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing time on the beautiful grounds. It was very nice to have some quiet time. (Thank you mom for staying with the kids)!

Enjoyed a luxurious day at the spa.

Beautiful evening and yummy food.

A little night time swim. . .

Seascape

We spent Labor Day Weekend at Seascape. It was a little cold on that California Beach. I was bundled up the whole time. We enjoyed spending time with friends and sharing with their traditions.

The first day we hung out at the pool and played some games.

I, of course, was bundled up.

Should have gotten pictures of our "Simple" dinner spread. Jenn sure knows how to put on an amazing dinner.

Marky played with his kinder buddy, Cody.

Of course the near freezing temperatures do not stop these girls from running around the beach and jumping in the water.

Gotta hand it to Stevie for getting in the ice-cold water.

These boys went swimming in the sand instead.

Digging the biggest hole at the beach.

The kids LOVED getting around the resort in the golf carts.

Warming up next to our bonfire. We enjoyed entertainment from the kids as they put on skits and sang songs.

Enjoying being with good friends.

Alcatraz

On a beautiful Saturday, we headed over to Alcatraz.

It had been awhile since we had gone. Now that the kids are older, they can all take in so much more.

Steven and Chelsea had read the books in this series which made the trip a little more fun. Matt had actually gone to an author signing of the books when he was in 4th grade.

The model of Alcatraz was amazing to look and learn about the construction of the prison before we got on our boat.

A friend joined us for the entire boat ride over.

Since Matt is very scared of birds, he stayed inside the boat the entire ride. His traumatic experience with a bird happened while we were living in San Francisco when he was 4. He hasn't gotten over it 18 years later- Poor Guy.

The rest of us were able to enjoy some beautiful scenery.

Love Stevie helping Marky up the path.

Marky was the cutest with his headphones. He was so good at following the tour around Alcatraz. Marky really needs to adapt since he is the youngest of 4. He did such a good job.
