2007, Sept 21-23: Camping at Hat Creek, CA

aaaannnnndddd here's another camping story! We decided to camp at a place called Hat Creek. it's known for being one of the top places to go trout fishing. Boy were they right... D got me geared up with salmon eggs and i caught more than 10 fish throughout the weekend. My wrist got too tired from reeling them in!! one day we decided to walk through an underground lava cave. We brought our headlamps and took a 1 mile hike in the dark.

2007, Sept 7 & 8: Our big celebration in Paso Robles, CA

D & I are finally married - WOOHOO!! Our closest family members and friends witnessed this very special day with us. First we started off with a dinner rehearsal at 10th Street Cafe, a basque restaurant. We were served a variety of delicious basque foods and our wedding hosts (Scott & Bobbi) brought an array of yummy red wines. Afterwards, the servers passed the wine bota around the tables. Check out the photo of my mom... i think the wine totally missed her mouth and went all over her eyes!! What a fun night!


Our big day: 09/08/07
The day started off with our Chef Tom Fundaro from Villa Creek Restaurant who stopped by Ventuex Vineyards to smoke our 2 pigs for 5 hours before our reception! We had a great ceremony with 60 of our family & closest friends. The ceremony was sweet and short: no maid of honor, no best man, we wore flip flops, we wrote our own vows, D's dad officiated us, we administered our own wine ceremony describing ourselves using our favorite wines.


The food was delicious, wines from Four Vines & Villa Creek and hard liquor quenched everyone's thirst throughout the night. Cigars, techno music and lots of alcohol ended our night. Oh, don't forget the 2 limousines that D ordered.

Thank you Bobbi & Scott (Jake & Clover too) for allowing D & I to have a kick ass wedding & party at Venteux Vineyards: www.ventuexvineyards.com

2007, Sept 1: Girls Night Out

Party Party! Countdown begins! Saturday, Sept 8th is the day I will no longer become a single woman!! AAHHH!! I don't want to call it my bachelorette party since I soo dislike being in the spotlight but my gfriend, Sam & I decided to plan a girls night out. we started at the Sierra Tap House and headed over to Imperial Lounge, Divine Lounge, Shooters, 3rd Street Jazz, and Vinos. We danced until our heart's content! I didn't have any dinner so that first dirty tuaca shot didn't settle well in my tummy. At about 2 am, I was ready to go home.
THANK YOU LADIES FOR AN AWESOME TIME!
