Dave and I haven’t been on a trip alone together for over 3 years!!!! We were so excited to plan our little mini vacation before wedding season starts up again. We weren’t sure where we wanted to go to at first but the suggestion of San Francisco kept coming up several times and I don’t think I’ve met one person who has had anything negative to say about this amazing city. My first reaction when we landed in San Fran was “why would anyone ever choose to live in Chicago over here!!” haha! There was so much green, mountains, the ocean….what more could you want?! 🙂
We headed directly to Muir Woods.
It was a bit foggy on our first day. We made a random stop to the Muir Beach look out which used to be an old military post. Even in the fog, it was completely breathtaking!
I love the water but it also sort of freaks me out….especially when it’s a long way down!
On Friday we headed to wine country. The views on our way to Sonoma were just amazing! We had a bit of rain that day but it really didn’t take away from the beauty of this place. In fact, there were a lot less people running around which made it very relaxing for us.
Check out these sheep!!
This is the Sonoma city hall!
This was one of the last Mexican Missions built in California.
It’s hard to actually get in pictures when you’re the photographer…luckily I set the timer on this one 🙂
AND then, we headed off to a wine tour at Gundlach/Bundschu winery. Just. Gorgeous.
Seriously folks…if you’re thinking of getting married at a winery in Cali….call me up!!! I think I just added this to my destination wedding bucket list!
On Saturday we headed into San Francisco. Dave laughed at me when I told him I wanted to see the “Full House” house….so we didn’t go…BUT we did visit Alcatraz. This place was SO cool!! For once I felt a little smarter than Dave because he didn’t know that Al Capone was held in Alcatraz for a while. Guess that New Trier education wasn’t all that amazing…haha! j/k
You want to know one of my favorite things about our visit to Alcatraz???? It totally reminded us of The Walking Dead….Season 3 anyone?!
And here’s our little “TWD” tribute, you’re welcome!
Oh San Francisco, you were amazing! Hope to visit again soon 🙂
