Napa with Therese

We met Adam and Rachel up in Napa for lunch with Mike and Therese. Therese has a really cute place right on the edge of the vineyards-- this time of year the mustard is in full bloom and there's a sea of yellow in her back yard... truly breathtaking. See below for details, or click here for the full slideshow!



We enjoyed a delicious mediterranean lunch, played in the backyard, went for a walk through the vineyards, and did some wine tasting at Monticello Vineyards next door. Therese is going to be sorry that she extended an invite for us to use her place when she's out of town... it's perfect!

The consensus is still that Tyler looks more like Eunice than Ryan, but this shot of Tyler and Grandpa Nic definitely shows some of the Nichols genes shining through ;)



Our ride home was rough-- both boys were howling in the backseat before we'd even reached Oakland. We decided to pull off at Jack London Square to stretch our legs, watch the boats, and grab some BBQ at the world-famous Everett and Jones. Watching Spencer dig into the ribs was quite a site-- the video below is not for the faint of heart! (or vegetarians)


And if you liked that, take a look at this video from a year ago - Spencer's appetite for BBQ pork hasn't changed much!
