Yelp!

I wanted to share with our friends, if you haven't used this site before, I encourage you to check it out! www.yelp.com offers user Reviews and Recommendations of Top Restaurants, Shopping, Nightlife, Entertainment, Services and More. You can even create your own account to make your own reviews....I was thinking that with all of the traveling, hotel staying, restaurant adventures, and wine country trips we make, it would be a shame for me not to document our reviews, raves, and hopefully not too many rants:)

So, I have started adding reviews when I have time...Needlesstosay, I have a lot to catch up on so this may be a process, but I am really looking forward to seeing everything in the end...More than anything, this will help me document our trips!

So, if you are travelling and looking for reviews, check it out! You'll probably get a wider range of reviews on metro areas, but it's always a good place to check out wherever you are going!

While I am at it, I want to share a few of the other websites we frequent when making travel arrangements:

www.tripadvisor.com
A good website again, for reviews, honest opinions and true traveler photos! I have gotten great tips from reviewers from here on making reservations, rooms to request in hotels, who is offering deals on priceline.....

www.kayak.com
flight comparisions

www.hotwire.com and www.priceline.com
Coleman is the expert on these sites so I may have him make a blog soon on his tips when working with these sites.


Enjoy!

are you ready....


more wine country adventures...

We finally got up to the northern CA wine country...funny, this is the most known area (Napa/Sonoma) for wine, and we managed to see almost all of the other wine areas of CA until finally travelling north! We were up in the northern Sonoma county area and Sonoma. Stayed in Healdsburg- northern Sonoma county....A gem truly! Lovely town....

Yosemite National Park

A few weeks ago we went to Yosemite. We are so lucky to have such an amazing place so near to Fresno. We drove up and spent the day hiking some trails and taking in the amazing views. We went at a great time, when the waterfalls were flowing and most of the snow had melted. We can't wait to go back and hike more trails!

Take a look a the slideshow below.....
