Girl's Weekend

Back in October my sister Lorna and I flew to California for a special "girls weekend" with my mom and other sister Lesley.

We had a wonderful trip. It was nice to just lounge around and relax.

 I hadn't been to Napa in the fall in many years. I loved seeing the vineyards in their harvest colors. My dad, Lorna and I took a walk early Saturday morning and saw probably 10 or so hot air balloons above as we walked along the vineyards. Heavenly.

We went to a production of "Pride and Prejudice" in Sacramento. Before the play, we went to Lesley's house for a "tea party" to be in the proper Jane Austen mood.

On Sunday all the California family got together for dinner. We sure do have some cute grandkids/great-grandkids in our family. I sure wish my Alex would eat like his cousin Abram. He loved his pumpkin pie.

Little Aila is one of the happiest, most smiley babies I've ever seen and I am totally in love.

 

Alexis rules the roost wherever she goes. With that red hair, crystal blue eyes and cheeks that you could sink your teeth into, I think she is already aware that she's got us all wrapped around her finger.

Lorna and I are hoping to make this trip a new tradition. (Not sure if our families know this yet!) Actually, they were all very good sports about being mommy-less for a few days. Only 11 months to go till our next trip!
