October 23, 2011

Hello everyone,

Many of you might have thought that Tim and I would be singletons forever since we're sort of late bloomers when it comes to marriage. However, just when we were both pretty comfortable with life on our own we found each other again on Facebook. That's the beauty of life or at least of Facebook. Since It only took us about twenty years from our last date to reconnect, I figure no one can claim we are a couple of impulsive kids heh? Not that there's anything wrong with that. As you may have surmised though, we have had plenty of years to acquire housewares so we thought it would be more fun to have a honeymoon registry and forego the traditional gift registry.

With that said, we decided to remain in the States and to visit the beautiful West Coast. Here's our basic plan. First, we will fly in to San Francisco and then drive to Monterey and stay for five days. While in Monterey, we will also visit the surrounding areas of Carmel and Big Sur. Yea! Next, we will head east to Yosemite for three days and then head to Napa Valley for a couple of days before returning to San Francisco. Afterwards, we will head back home to start our lives as an old married couple.

Again, we look forward to celebrating with you.

After we fly, we still need to rent a car to get to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur Yosemite, Napa & then back to SF. Do you think Tim is too tall for this one?

After some time in Monterey we want to see the beautiful Big Sur area. Hiking in Julia Pfeifer State Park will be amazing.

This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Big Sur so of course I want to share it with Tim. You can expect us to eat here a couple of times because this is the view we will have each time.

When in Rome? We are thirsty so some wine from the wineries with our picnic sounds pretty good.

We don't want to drink and drive. Cycling's okay though right?
