Vacations are too short, I wanna go Back!

Sorry, there haven’t been many updates as of late. We’ve been vacationing/catching up on work/spending times with friends… you know, basically enjoying real life (instead of virtual) for a change. But now we are settling back into our normal schedule — so expect some fresh posts soon.

BTW, San Fran and Napa were wonderful! Check below for a brief synopsis of the trip and photos:

We’ve been to San Francisco many times, so there was some obvious touristy stuff that we just skipped. This time around, we just made it a point to visit a few museums – then stroll around aimlessly, letting our whims guide the way. We tried to get a Segway Tour, but an unfortunate traffic accident on the Golden Gate Bridge made us miss our reservation. We settled for drinks instead.

Here is my favorite set of photos from the trip — this is where we stumbled into Musee Mecanique, a strange little collection of Carnival machines and arcade games from yesteryear. Below, DH is testing his mettle on the “Strong Man Machine”

After a few days in San Fran, we scuttled over to Napa to do the wine train thing (which was delicious, highly recommended). We also checked out downtown Napa and a few wineries. Rombauer Vineyards and the gardens at Frog’s Leap were by far my favorite (as far as facilities go).

In total this was a great trip. Next time, we will have to plan better and spend more than a few days… but i’ll take whatever I can get.
If anyone’s planning a trip in Napa, and looking for a good bed-n-breakfast — I highly recommend the Inn on First. The rooms are great and the owners are very welcoming and well-informed of the area — plus, one of them is a chef (so breakfasts’ are extra yum!)
