Exploring the best of Nor Cal

This morning we were all excited to head to a Stockton must---

Bob's for brunch!!!

Libi is probably the only person who could ask Guy to make her a Little Mermaid pancake-- and he would actually try to do it.

Libi and Guy are special friends :)

She is now a fan of sitting at the counter and watching all of the action.

While we were waiting for our meal Libi told Daddy about our adventures last night.

Ariel looked a bit like a whale, but I don't think I could have done any better.

After brunch we caravaned out to a little winery in north Lodi.

They really do up their holiday decorations...

I mean REALLY do up their decorations!!

There were many fancy things to look at-- not to mention one cute little girl.

They also have an armoire that they have turned into a giant music box with guitars, drums, keyboard, and a bunch of other instruments.

Ron and I enjoyed one of the many songs it played.

Before we left we found one more really cool holiday decoration...

and some really neat leaves. While Libi went home with Jammy, Granpa and Pop for naptime Ron and I headed to Sacramento for a little date.

Our first stop was to the mall so we could hit the Disney Store to find a Tangled dress for later this week.

Our next stop was Old Towne Sacramento.

Ron had never been here-- so it was fun to show him around (even though I hadn't been there since junior high school.)

It was raining by the time we left...

but that didn't stop me from taking a few photos from the car.

Our beautiful capitol building in the mist.

As we drove home the sun broke through the clouds-- it was a very nice afternoon.

While Ron and I were on our adventure Libi and the boys were on their own...

assembling a foam house that Jammy bought.

I guess it was more of a project than they expected..

but they seemed to enjoy it none the less.
