Wedding, Wine & Water

Morgan Hill, CA
Morgan Hill RV Resort


So where did we leave off last month?  Oh yes.  Our son's wedding.  It was a beautiful outdoor wedding in the Napa Wine Country at Yountville.
Lindsay & Shane tie the knot!
Mr. & Mrs. McCormack
The parents of the bride and groom were beyond excited!

Before you knew it November arrived with wonderful fall color.
The vineyards around Morgan Hill were in full glory.
Vineyards in yellows, oranges and reds!

It's a busy time seeing all our old friends in the San Jose area.  We had dinner at Burger Pit where I worked as a teen.  After over 50 years in business they are closing their doors permanently.  I'm glad we got one final visit in.  Awesome flame grilled burgers and steaks.

Another night we visited with Michael and Amy for a great pasta dinner.
We made a fall salad with mandarins and pomegranate seeds.
Michael making his famous garlic bread.
And Amy's Chocolate cake with chocolate and Kalua filling.
Our friends John & Tina joined us at the campground and we took a walk around the area.
Plenty of olive trees planted amongst the vineyards.


Huge Bay Trees.
Bright yellow leaves falling from the trees with the mild breezes.
Pretty Uvas Creek running through the campground.
Me, Steve, Tina and John.
Back at my Mom's we celebrated Thanksgiving with the family.  Minus my brother who is in Florida for the holidays.


Appetizers getting ready to go in the oven.
We were all impressed with Ryans Bacon Deviled Eggs.  They were delicious.
Jaxon trying to sneak some of Aunt Kaylee's pasta.

The weather was great so the next day we went up to Apple Hill for Apple-Everything and some beer tasting.


The last day of the Thanksgiving Weekend was so nice we took out our new kayaks to see which ones we wanted to keep.
Steve's fishing kayak which he loves.

All packed up.  Do you think we could fit any more?

December we'll be busy getting things ready for next year!  
We have some exciting news coming!
