Wedding time! Destination: Berkley, San Francisco

It's always fun to get the family together for events, but even better when it's for a wedding. This was a destination wedding in Berkley, California (everyone stayed in a town close by called Walnut Creek. My aunt Jenny was getting married to Scott. The whole family (some all the way from México) went a couple days earlier to be together and enjoy the bay area. We took advantage and went one full day to Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley on a google bus (thanks to my brother David and mama who planned the amazing trip) to visit several wineries. After having bagels and coffee on the bus for breakfast, our first stop was Mumm Winery, then we headed to the Robert Mondavi Winery, where we took a tour and enjoyed two glasses of wine. After, we went to Sonoma to have lunch. Then we went to Artesa Winery and Domain Carneros Winery before heading back for a Mexican dinner with friends and family of the bride and groom to celebrate the wedding the next day.

The wedding was outdoors in the natural environment- it looked like it was out of a movie. There were big trees everywhere with the sun shining through onto the bride and groom. It was a very pretty scenery. After the ceremony, the real fun began! We danced all night long the dance floor and had a good time celebrating.

Wisconsin!

This past weekend was my younger brother's graduation from the University of Madison in Wisconsin. I had visited Jonney twice before, but every time I go to Wisco I like it a little more. Madison is a cute, small, college town filled with bars, restaurants, and people ready to have a good time. With it being graduation, the city was packed with people ready to celebrate the graduates! The whole weekend was great. We celebrated all weekend long with the family, going to nice dinners, going out to the bars, sitting in the sun at the lake, having a graduation celebration with all Jonney's close friends, and on Sunday we watched Jonney walk in his cap and gown to recieve his diploma. The weekend was filled with amazing food, lots of sun and humid heat, and spotted cow beer.  All of this made me nostalgic of my college days (I graduated just two years ago) and brought back good memories. We also went to the farmers market on Sunday at the Capitol of Madison, where we bought the famous spicy cheese bread--delicious. The food was incredible (good beer and cheese, who can complain right?). I'm so glad events like these bring everyone back together...such a great time.
