Year in Review: Trips of 2009

It's that time of the year when we can reflect on the past year and look forward to see what the next year holds for us. Throughout this month I am going to be posting some of my favorite things of the past year.
The following is the vacations and weekend trips we took this past year. I am Very lucky to live in an area where there is so much to do and see near by.
December: Napa-Graduation Celebration
August: 3rd Anniversary in Maui


September: Annual Labor Day Tahoe TripJuly: Girls trip to LA at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood, at which no pictures were taken.June: Our Most Epic Trip of 2009. My 27th Birthday in Beijing, China. Four of us went to visit an old High School friend and his wife in China.



And because everyone always loves this picture...the public toilets in Beijing. May: Girls bacholorette party at a Beach house and Wine tasting in Santa Cruz



February: Monteray and Carmel. After-hours dinner at the aquarium for Casey's work dinner.


I am excited to see where 2010 will take me....
