As I'm browsing our web gallery of pictures I realized I never blogged about our trip to Solvang and Los Olivos that we went on with our parents back in July... oops! It was Andrea and Sandy's idea for us to go wine tasting locally, so we all went (me, Brian, Dad, Sandy, Andrea & Nick) to a local wine country for some picture taking... and some wine tasting, too ;) We even made it out to Neverland Ranch, which was quite a sight! Especially just a couple of weeks after MJ died... There were so many photos, I tried to condense them-- hence all the collages...
first stop - Firestone Vineyard
the wine wasn't very good...
next - Fess Parker
nice, Dad
dad relaxing all cool
the 'rents
into the city to visit the Artiste winery shop
loved this truck-thing outside
there was a book to draw in so I made some random drawing (don't judge-- I'm no artiste!)
off for some more fun
an E for E ;)
someone's ready to go home...
I don't know why, but I just love taking pictures of sconces! I took SO many on this 1 day trip! haha
olive oil tasting... yum!
Neverland Ranch, MJ's old home, was just a few miles up the road. We visited there just a couple weeks after he died, so there were still a ton of fans surrounding it. What a sight...
(note the MJ "impersonator"-- an Asian guy that didn't even speak English)
I look awkward because I didn't know if I should've been smiling or not... it was a sad feeling to be there.
RIP, MJ
Overall, a fun day with the parents!
