Napa and the Wine country are some of our favorite parts of the Bay Area. We love to just drive around looking at the never ending rows of vines, love the hot weather, and of course we love wine tasting!

It seems that this was the first year when we had a chance to go to Napa in the Fall. The beautifully colored vineyards looked just gorgeous and there were still some grapes on the vines. We stopped at random places along the way and couldn’t resist taking pictures of what we saw:

Trees make great tripods, btw :)

Nathan is my younger brother who has just turned 10 this December. I had a chance to take some photos of him and he’s definitely proved to be quite the character. Please enjoy!

Hi everyone, just wanted to write a quick update on our travels. We are currently making our way down Vietnam from the North down to the Southern tip before we go through Cambodia to Thailand.

It’s a been a fascinating week of exploring an entirely different world. The culture is so different that our first reaction when we arrived in Hanoi (Vietnam’s capital) was that we could have a great time just sitting in one spot and people watching for days. The way of life is just SO different here.

One of the most interesting experiences we’ve had so far was visiting the Hmong ethnic minority villages in Northern Vietnam. To paint a visual just imagine never-ending hillside rice patties, water buffalos, geese, dogs, pigs, and villagers dressed in traditional clothing all living together. It is truly breathtaking.

Naturally, we are taking more photos than we’ll know what to do with and we can’t wait to share them. We’ll continue to write updates to our blog when we’ll have a chance.

Happy New Year’s!!!!!! Hope you are all doing well.

Mike and Natasha
