Yes I know...it's been quite a few weeks since I have updated the blog. With good reason though as I was off celebrating my one year anniversary with my sweet hubby. Now I am back and have my nose to the grindstone trying to catch up!!! Matt and I spent a week in Northern California enjoying cities like San Francisco, Monterey, and Healdsburg. We planned our trip to see a little of the city, a little of the shoreline, and a little but of wine country. It was perfect. We had so much fun together. We both love to travel and see new things so it was great to enjoy this adventure together. Enjoy some of the sights of NorCal....more client postings to come later today!!!!
This was our first stop on the trip...Alcatraz Island. I know I know- nothing says romance quite like an old high security penitentiary. It really was cool though. Above is the photo of the old wardens house and tower.
Below is the view of the city from the Island.
This is the section of the prison they called "Broadway". When inmates first entered the prison they were walked down this row of cells. The cell blocks were so tiny! This prison once held Al Capone and "the Birdman" just to name a few.
I know...only people in the South photograph their food. I couldn't help myself- this was one of my favorite things. Clam Chowder in a bread bowl. Yum!
Sea Lions everywhere! I thought these guys were so cool!
Then we left San Francisco and hit the road to Monterey. This was a lookout spot on the Highway 1 drive. Notice the fog? This would be a theme for the entire trip!
Monterey by night. My sweet and oh so patient husband is standing behind me while I wait for the wave to crash in just the right way for my photo. Thank goodness he understands me and my love for photography!
Me and my beloved :)
Our gorgeous hotel in Monterey had a beautiful view from our balcony. On Saturday there was a wedding right below us...I couldn't help myself I took a few shots.
Sunset our final night in Monterey...now on to wine country.
Healdsburg...in Sonoma county...breathtaking.
The famous Redwood Forest on our drive back to San Francisco.
Back in SF. Bet you can guess what this is.
Ok all you children of the 80's sing with me..."When you're out there and you're all alone....a light is waiting to carry you home." Recognize this row of famous houses? The Full House house!
The Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park. This was one of my favorite places.
That's it for now....back to editing! Thank you to all of my clients for waiting on your photos...they're headed your way!
