napa valley!!

My dad, Chris, Christy and I pulled off the biggest surprise, EVER! My mom and dad had a trip to Napa Valley planned for my mom's birthday and my dad called us in February to ask if us kids would like to fly out there and surprise her! Of course, we said!! Chris, Christy, Case and I flew in to San Francisco on Sunday, July 19 and drove out to Napa Valley so we could be at the cottages before my parents got there.  When my mom and dad arrived and my mom saw us, she was SHOCKED!! It was priceless.  I love surprises, but it was so hard to keep this one a secret since I talk to my mom everyday!!  We had such a great time together!! Unfortunately, Zach couldn't come because of work :(  We really missed him and he was so bummed he couldn't go.  

We ate lots of delicious food, went to some of the most gorgeous wineries (I got to WATCH everyone try the wine..:) relaxed, played bocci ball, played with Case, ate yummy pastries every morning, and the list goes on.  It was such a fun family trip!






HOW CUTE IS HE!??! I had so much fun with Case, I miss seeing him grow up! He was so good on the trip and I miss him like crazy now!!


I have no idea why all of the sudden my font is underlined.  I can't seem to get it to stop.  Anyway we had a wonderful time.. Oh and on my next post, I will put pictures up of the pictures my mom, dad and I took while we were on the Hot Air Balloon!!!
