Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair

My family and I spent the past four days in beautiful California!  Dave and Jeanyoung were getting married in wine country, so we decided to make a vacation out of it!  Alex had to work and could not come :(  It was nice to see all the Regans and Prices together again for another spectacular wedding.
    
Moo really wanted to come to the wedding.
 
The view from our hotel in San Francisco.  We were on the thirty-ninth floor!
   
  
Trolley Car!
 
Lisa and Kaylyn holding on!
 
Dad and Douglas
  
Lisa and Sami
 
Mommy, Teresa, and I enjoyed the ride from the seated position :)
  
Trolley car style
 
The adults at Fisherman's Wharf
  
My favorite part of Thursday... the sea lions!  I decided that they look more like bears than lions so they are now referred to as sea bears.
 
They were a hoot!
  
The view of Alcatraz from our yummy restaurant.
  
Walking back to the trolley, we passed a neat looking bakery that made bread in the shape of animals!
    
  
On Friday, we went on a tour of all of San Fransisco.  It started on a ferry, then traded off between a tour bus and walking tours.  It was a great way to see a large part of the city in just a few hours!  Our first stop was Sausalito!  It felt like we were in a different country with all the beautiful views, different shops, and variety of languages the tourists spoke!

It was chilly.
  
Very chilly.
  
The Golden Gate Bridge!
      
  
I don't remember the name of this, but it is pretty.
 
We stopped at a beautiful Japanese garden.
  
   
 
These are the houses from Full House!
  
The most crooked street in the world!
  
The Prices stayed at the most beautiful house in Sonoma Valley.
 
  
The house was gorgeous!  Oh and the people were fun too!
  
 Connor, Tessa, and Lisa by the pool!
  
The house had a great outdoor fireplace for smores and a lovely porch for our awesome Saturday brunch.
  
On the front porch!
  
Bay's, John's, and David's families stayed in this beautiful Cali home.  It had the craziest art work and furniture.  Look at the huge fireplace!!

The house had a nice outdoor pool,
  
a tennis court,
     
 
a hot tub,
  
and a volley ball court!  They most have known the Regans were coming.  I think we enjoyed all of the outside amenities a little too much because the Sheriff had to come tell us to keep it down!
 
Before the wedding, we headed out to Muir Forest to see the redwoods.
  
The trees were huge!
  
We also went to Muir Beach.  Consensus was that North Carolina has better beaches :)
  
My favorite city was Tiburon.  We had lunch at the most wonderful little place on the water.
  
I also became a tomato in Tiburon.
  
The wedding setting!  My pictures just don't do it justice.
  
The wedding was at a vineyard nestled amongst the mountains.
  
Most of our eyes are closed, but I love this picture anyway.
  
 
  
We all got fancy umbrellas to shield ourselves from the sun.
  
  
The bridesmaids
  
Ella the flower girl!
  
The bride and groom!
 
So pretty!
  
Cocktail hour!  I planted myself behind the bread and cheese table so that I would never have to wait in line :)
    
We had a great table... the Ecklunds, Shupes, and Manesses!
  
Did I mention the beautiful location?!
 
First dance
 
Jeanyoung's mom traveled to Korea to get these traditional outfits.
 
Family
 
Goodbye San Fransisco!

  1. Beautiful! Thank you for posting all the pictures! By the way, I loved the "we are freezing" pictures. Mark Twain said that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco :) The street vendors do a mean business in sweat shirts...
