The End of a Great Year!!

Well it has been awhile since I have blogged...The 2008 year ended well. Jose and I enjoyed our first Christmas as a married couple with our families and friends. We went to some gift exchange parties and enjoyed time with the family. Then we left on our honeymoon which was so relaxing and something really different for us. We went to Napa Valley and just enjoyed having a relaxing and romantic honeymoon. We wanted to stir away from the tropical scene sense that is something we do every year and we did and loved every minute of it.

We meet a lot of great people that were on their honeymoon as well, had great wine and made a lot of new memories together. We went on a hot air balloon ride which was such a thrill, I hate heights but I was very proud of myself that I got in the basket and was able to handle being 2,000 ft in the air. The going up part was easy it was coming down that was difficult below are a few pictures of the landing and you will see what I mean…Jose loved it and thought it was fun, me on other hand was freaking out a little. We also went on the Napa Valley Wine Train for dinner which I would recommend to everyone, great food and such a romantic ride in the vista dome. I put a few pictures of our trip to Napa and a few of our stops along the way up the coast.
