Click here for more Cali Pics with Dave & Karen!
Fantastic times with friends, gorgeous weather, beautiful trips - we went wine tasting in Napa, cozied up by fireplaces in Big Sur and thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend!


JC in Artesa!
Wine Country and the perfect day - purple teeth and perfect pino's. Ahhhh, it was a grand time! Quote 'o the Day, "This has got to be the classiest thing I've ever done!"

Opus One
Where the views were gorgeous and wines were outrageous...ly priced! Alas, we still enjoyed the spectacular valley and vineyards. So gorgeous!
Dave & Karen in Napa
This was Dave & Karen's first time to Cali. they didn't know what to expect for Napa...so it was a nice day full of surprises.

Enjoyin' the View
So many sights to take in! We spent all day Saturday up in Napa.

Mondavi Strolls
Robert Mondavi Vineyard - it was jammin' inside!

JC in Silverado
Our first stop was Silverado - Love this place!

Highway 1, Big Sur
The clearest day I think we've seen up there. It was truly a sight to see!

By Bixby Bridge, Big Sur
Across Rainbow Canyon...
Enjoyin' More Views
Driving up through the Monterrey Penninsula and through Carmel...right down to Highway 1...
All Together amoung the Redwoods
To note - bare feet, yes folks there is a story! We were talking a "light walk / hike"; turns out several of the bypass bridges were down so we had to take the sheer cliff mile high roads...and turns out the cutesy shoes I was wearing (of course) couldn't handle the sheer 90% cliffs & hills our tour guide took us on! Lol! Off came the shoes! No long term pain - just a few good laughs!

Secret Beach
This is the beach we accidentally stumbled across on one of our first trips to Big Sur...it is about a 2-3 mile drive down to the shore, over a low-rise riverbed and into the park...Sheer rocky cliffs, jagged plateaus, purple sands, miles and miles of secluded shoreline unlike no other. It is quite amazing.
