This year Valentine’s Day was a pretty casual one for us. We didn’t plan ahead and made no dinner reservations. In fact we had dinner with my parents at home. Instead we made last minute plans to meet up with friends in Tiburon, during the beautiful, sunny afternoon.

So we took a drive over the Golden Gate bridge to Guaymas Restaurant in Tiburon for some chips…

…guacamole…

…margaritas…

…and some tasty flautas.

It was a nice, relaxing afternoon during an unusually sunny and warm winter day, with some really tasty snacks.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

The holiday season is once again upon us. The SITS girls came up with the great SITSmas idea.
To join in the holiday spirit, I want to wish everyone happy holidays! I hope you all enjoy this holiday season and spend whatever holiday you may be celebrating with family and friends.

For those of you celebrating Hanukkah on December 11th…

This isn’t exactly on the topic of food, but thought I’d share my recent getaway. My husband and I had some time off, so we decided to take a drive up to Napa Valley for a little getaway. We did some wine tasting…

…enjoyed the food…

…and took in the views…

Overall a very relaxing getaway.

Two in a row….must be a holiday

Speaking of Holidays…During this past weekend…we decided to go out to Capitola…The day started out grey, but cleared up into a beautiful sunfilled day…Unfortunately the batteries in my camera died before the sun came out. Nonetheless…I believe I got some nice shots….Take a look…

Yes I know, I am a terrible blogger. I do want to say thank you to the occasional stragglers that peek into this blog. To make up for being MIA, I am going to put up TWO posts today!

One being from Spain. Spain is gorgeous. Favorite city you ask? Definitely Barcelona! (Now you know what the poll was about ) So here we go, some highlights from Espania…

I’ve been scouring through my computer and came up on some photos I took a while back. A lot of these were taken when I first exhibited an interest in photography and capturing all those things around me. Here are some of those everyday moments…through my eyes…

This post is a bit off topic of photography…but I was curious what all of you think of Spain. This poll would be appropriate to those that have been there.

Can’t wait to hear your responses!!!

The other day I was practicing some photography and here is my subject…. …a little product placement

Well, once again I’ve been MIA for a while. As my friend says I am a terrible blogger. Although I’d like to think that even though I might not blog all the time…I keep things interesting So here is another one for you. A couple of months ago we took a trip to Costa Rica. I saw some really cool animals and insects that I’ve never seen so up close. Costa Rica is gorgeous, I even got my version of the stereotypical vacation photo Here goes…During our stay in Costa Rica we took a trip down the river in the jungle and checked out some of jungle life….I’ve never seen so many iguanas (did you know that iguanas eat bananas?)

We also saw some pretty cool gigantic grasshoppers. Here are a few for your viewing pleasure…

These grasshoppers hide a little hint of color under their wings. Our guide revealed it for us. Who would have known…

Finally, here is my version of paradise:)

This weekend a bunch of us went camping. We got pretty lucky with the weather (even though it did sprinkle a little during the second day) and the views were beautiful. I wanted to share some snippets from the weekend with you…

We set around a beautiful fire…

…and what’s a camping trip without a little boating?

And finally, this is what happens when you go camping to an uncivilized campground…

…with no restroom in sight:)
