Our 1st Anniversary - 2-17-08

Al and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary on Sunday, February 17th. How many of you were cold in MN at our wedding? Well let's just say that I am glad we got married in 2007 rather than 2008, lately in MN it has been really cold, meaning a high of -10, yes that would have been cold! Here we are holding the top of our wedding cake. We didn't eat any yet since we were going out to dinner.

We went to dinner at The Salt House in San Francisco and had a nice dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better day! After dinner we headed home and finally got to have some of our cake, it was great, tasted just like it did a year ago!

Point Reyes National Seashore, 2-16-08

Point Reyes National Seashore
Al and I set out for a day of hiking, and wildlife watching. We started at Drake's Beach. As you can see there are some great views.

What beautiful shoreline!

Here I am standing on one of the many rocks that were covered in seaweed or something:)

We took a bus from Drake's Beach to The Lighthouse. They were Whale Watching that day and saw a whale 45 min before we got there, unfortunately we were not able to see one as well, but it was great. We walked all 30 stories down to the lighthouse and then had to walk back up the 30 stories, it was a great workout!

Here is a picture of Al and I with the coast in the background.

After the Lighthouse, we went to Chimney Rock to see the Elephant Seals. Kinda hard to see without blowing this picture up, but there are about 250 Elephant Seals here. They come here each year to have their babies and rest. Al and I had a great time, the weather was wonderful!

Angie's Trip to Boise 2.8 - 2.10

I went to Boise to visit Cari, Torri, Colton, McCall, Keegan and Katti, we had a great time. I got in late Friday night, so first thing Saturday morning, we had a Ping Pong tournament. McCall won! We had fun and hopefully we can play again soon.

After Ping Pong, we had 2 Hockey games to go to. First one was McCall and Colton's game. They ended in a tie, below you can see McCall (#6).

After McCall's game we had Colton's JV Hockey Game to watch. Colton had a great game and received the game puck, it was great. Colton is #25.

Here are the fans, Katti, Me, Keegan, Torri and McCall!

Sunday we went to church and then I got them all together for a picture before I had to leave!

Colton (14), Torri (15), Me

After the picture the kids went outside and made a snowman, so here is the snowman in the making.

Below you will find the finished product, Snowman Bob

I had a wonderful time vising my nieces and nephews and can't wait to see them again, hopefully soon!

Visit to Moon Mountain Winery 2.2.08

On Saturday I went to Scott and Jen's house and then we headed to Moon Mountain winery. The weather was not so great, so we didn't get to see the wonderful views of the mountain, but we still got to try the wonderful wine!

We took a tour of the caves, very neat and they are all natural, which is really fun.

Jen, Scott and myself having some wine in Sonoma Square. After dinner we headed to back to Scott and Jen's house and we played a little Guitar Hero, it was fun. I had never played, so I did the Easy songs, but it was fun.
