Vino at Bogle

Our favorite winery - without a doubt - is Bogle in Clarksburg. Not only did Ardie take me there on our 3rd date, but the wines are simply fantastic! On this hot day, here is a picture of our featured beverage:

Here I am with Sylvester, the winery's gatto:



And my sweet hubby, with a glass of Bogle's Chard:



If you haven't had a chance, make sure to get a bottle of their Phantom - one of Ardie's all-time favorites!

Aiden's 8th Birthday

For Aiden's 8th birthday, we celebrated with the family at Strikes Family Entertainment Center in Rocklin...a night of bowling and beer - at least for the adults!


Josh and Ardie throwin' a few back... ;)


Blowing out the candles on his Wall-e cupcakes!

McNear's Beach

Over the weekend we adventured with Ardie's parents and sister to McNear's Beach - a bayside park in Marin County. While we were there, some folks fishing next to us caught a baby Leopard Shark! It was pretty cool to touch it, and realize that soon it is going to be 7' long! Hello, sharkie...
