What's up

So I am lagging behind again on the blog posts.

Blame Stephen.

Stephen got back from Texas a little over a week ago.

He got in at 2:30am on Wednesday.

Why the military can't travel at decent hours, I don't know.

It certainly isn't conducive to looking cute for your husband after he has been gone 3 weeks.

Since he's been back we've had a lot of fun.

We went to the cupcake shop again.

We saw Super 8.

(Which was good but I hate movies that are made to seem like kids movies and than turn out to be inappropriate. It causes the inner mother in me to come out.)

We also went on a hike with some friends to this waterfall.



It was really pretty.

We had fun jumping off the rocks into the pool.

We also got to eat some strawberry guavas that were growing near the trail.

That's something you don't experience hiking on the mainland.

Random tropical fruit.

We also saw one of these things.



It started a debate on whether it was a bug or a bird.

I was convinced it was a humming bird.

It moved and looked just like one.

(That was when I realized for the first time that I had never seen a humming bird in Hawaii and have since learned there are none)

It was a kind of moth.

We went to this the celebrate our anniversary.



I had some fun with my make up.



We tasted 2 Chardonnays, 1 Pinot Noir, 4 Cabernet Sauvignons and 1 dessert wine called Dolce.

All from Nickel & Nickel or Far Niente (both have the same owner).

It was a lot of fun.

The people we were sitting near knew way more about wine than we do.

We were able to say that we were from Napa and had been to Far Niente.

So ha!

Then they started talking about the differences in the wines grown in the Stags Leap district compared to the Carneros district and we felt stupid again.

Afterwards we walked over to the theater and saw Midnight in Paris.

Which is a really good movie by the way.

Or at least it seemed like it after tasting all that wine ;o)
