Seriously, if life had a pause button, I would be pushing it right about now! We have been busy all summer but all I want to do is just STOP and soak up this time with my two babies and the love of my life. If I could even just remember to take a few pictures so I could reminisce later, that would be great, but my camera is the last thing I think about while I'm juggling my mommy duties every day.
Anyhow, Geoff and I were so lucky to be able to take a vacation to California in June--JUST THE TWO OF US! We are definitely blessed to have parents (and siblings) who will take care of our babies so we can get away. Words cannot express how grateful we are to them--we know not everyone is as lucky as we are!
Although it was hard to leave my two babies...
it was WONDERFUL to get away and spend 8 full days with this handsome man :)
We spent time in Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco. I'm normally a "let's just lay on the beach ALL day" kind of girl when it comes to vacations, but this was definitely one of the best trips I've ever taken.
Geoff visited Lake Tahoe several years ago on a business trip, and has talked about taking me there ever since then. He said words could not describe how beautiful it is, and he was right. Even on a cloudy day, it's beauty is indescribable!
Our hotel/casino is the one in the middle
Sorry to bore you with all the mountain/lake photos, but seriously---it was breathtaking. Pictures just don't do the place justice, so I definitely recommend you take a trip there if you ever have the opportunity.
After a few days in Tahoe, we traveled to Napa Valley--another gorgeous, peaceful place!
We toured 2 boutique wineries, which were very fascinating (and had delicious wine!)
Our last stop was in San Francisco. There is so much to do in this city--we will certainly have to visit again.

We went to a Giants game! Even though it was pretty chilly once the sun went down, we had a great time :)
Touring the city!
Our hotel---super fancy!
Alcatraz
We definitely saw some interesting things as we toured the city....
and some familiar things as well....
Geoff, I am so thankful we were able to take this trip together. God has blessed my life with a wonderful husband a terrific daddy for our babies and I will forever cherish the time we spent growing our marriage. Happy 7th anniversary--I love you!

What a fun trip!!! Thanks for taking all of the photos....I just had a five minute vacay :)
I definitely have tears in my eyes right now! I am such a sap. Okay, let me just say...I had chills when looking at your Lake Tahoe pictures. I want to go so badly! I can't imagine, if it is that beautiful in pictures, how it must look in real life. I'm so glad that y'all had fun :) It was much needed, for two great people. Love you
