• California Dreamin'

  • From: traveljunkiejess
  • Description:

    So Jaron and I decided to go to San Francisco for the Memorial Day weekend. And we are just having a blast. I was fortunate enough to be able to book us the earliest flight in and the latest flight out to maxamize our time here. But before I go into any details as to the trip so far I have to do a mini rant on people who think that they can just openly cut in lines. I don't arrive at the airport early to have a fat middle age lady think that there is not a line for the A group and jump right up to the front of the line in front of me. And she wasn't just cutting in front of me. There was a good 7-10 people in line behind me. Well as most of you know I am not quiet about these things and I was pretty loud about my distaste for CUTTERS. I think she got the point. But the irony is that in the rental car line they were right in front of us again. I had half a mind to cut right in front of her.

     

    Anywhoo Jaron and I were looking forward to renting a Dodge Neon or equivelent. Something that gets more then 15 miles a gallon. Unfortunetly because of the holiday they were all gone. So they gave us a free upgrade. The only problem, it was a PT Cruiser. Most of my friends know of my deep distaste for the PT Cruiser. As someone that has worked in the classic car field for some time I just see them as a lame excuse to look like a classic. And for other non-superficial reasons I have ridden in the back seat of them and they are not comfortable and nor are they roomy. But the plus side. It is a convertible. What is more ideal then having a convertible when you are in California when the weather is gorgeous. I can't think of one.

    So as of now Jaron and I have taken a trip to many of the sights of San Fran including Pier 39, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Alchtrez. Not to mention driving Lombard street, the crookedest road in the world. And let me tell you that it is a scary thing trying to drive up that steep road with tons of tourists cars in front of you and behind you and even though you have a automatic you are still somewhat rolling down the hill. My hands were all clamy at the thought of rolling down backwards aimlessly into other cars.

    Then Jaron and I decided to hit up a Oakland A's game. (Thanks Jen for the info) After a fun day of sight seeing at the Golden Gate bridge. That bridge is soooo beautiful and I must have at least 2 rolls dedicated to pictures of it. So we went to the game. And well, they sucked. But because it was Memorial Day they were having a fireworks display after the game and I can say this in all honesty that this was the best fireworks show that I have ever seen in my LIFE. It was going off to classic rock songs of Santana and Journey etc and whenever a major part in the song happened a firework would explode. It was pretty sweet. So even though the A's lost the event was a lot of fun. They even let you go down and sprawl out on the baseball field to watch.

     

    Then on Tuesday Jaron and I went on a wine and Muir Woods tour. The wine tour was really awesome and really informative and I have a new appreciation for wine. The Muir woods trip was really cool as well. We went hiking all through out these trees that had with stood hundreds of years and that were 3x the size of regular trees. Also stopping by the Sonoma Cheese Factory had it's perks too. MMMM Cheese. On the way back from our tour our guide took us to a little place off of the highway with perfect views of the Golden Gate bridge so I had more pics of it. The rest of the day was just spent doing lazy sightseeing. Our last day was spent pretty much just sleeping in and doing some outlet shopping. Well if any of you get the chance to go to San Fran I would highly recommend it.

  • From: GL Salava
  • Description:

    We made a day of visiting Ste. Geneieve, noted for its old French houses, and the areas' wineries. One of the wineries we visited is the Charleville Winery located in the heart of Ste. Genieve wine country.  Ste Geneieve is located about 50 miles south of St. Louis.  There are about ten wineries on the wine route. Each winery is unique and offer samples of wines to purchase. Charleville Winery is somewhat off the beaten path then the other wineries but the views are fantastic.  Missouri is noted for its fine Norton wines.

• Palazzo Vecchio

  • From: rschoeff
  • Description:

    This is an evening shot of the Palazzo Vecchio located on the Piazza delia Signoria next to the Uffizi Art Gallery in Florence Italy.   The palace, like so many other things in Florence, was built by the Medici family in the 14th century.  It now houses a museum and has copies of famous sculptures by the entrance in the piazza.  A fountain, Fontana di Nettuno, is also located nearby on the piazza.  We spent more than one evening relaxing at a cafe across the piazza from the palace with a glass of wine, usually a decadent dessert, while chatting and drinking in the rich surroundings.
