Turner Two in SLC: July 2011

The last 3 weeks have been nothing short of amazing! Full of new memories, travels, friends, family and ADVENTURES!!!!

Where to start...
6.10.2011- We drove through Reno on our way to our Northern Cali adventure. We got to spend a short but amazing evening hosted by Mal and Josh in their brand new home in Reno. So many beautiful loving friends and family came. Little lily beans was as cute as EVER and it was just so great to see their new home and the happiness and love that fills it. Thank you Mal and Josh for hosting all of us, you guys are wonderful!!!

Love these people

6.11-14.2011- We left early morning and headed to Sonoma for an early 2nd year anniversary celebration and wine drinking! This has been on our "crib list" for a few years, so it was so great to finally be in Sonoma. We stayed at the Fairmont, courtesy of my Uncle Tom which was heaven on Earth. We ate lots of delicious food, drank wine, went for a beautiful hike, drank wine, went for a run around Sonoma, drank wine, did a driving tour of Dry Creek Road, drank wine, visited Russian River Brewing Company, drank beer, then drank wine, laid by the pool, drank wine and drank MORE wine! We will definitely be returning to wine country annually! We went to Benziger, Imagery (my favorite), BRCohn, Seghesio, Simi, Ridge (joined their wine club), Hawkes (Josh's favorite), Kenwood, and St.Francis. 100's more still to explore...

6.14-19.2011- We headed to SanFrancisco to visit the family and see my Uncle Michael who has been diagnosed with large B cell lymphoma and was in between round 3 and 4 of his chemo treatments. My 80 year old Grandmother flew out from Florida (we haven't seen her since our wedding). We spent two nights at the Fairmont atop Nob Hill. We had to check out because Eric Dane (McSteamy) was checking into our room. I thought about hiding in the room ;) These days were spent full of family and all its beautiful chaos that comes along with it. My brother and Lauren came down for a few days too. We got to meet my cousin Jenny and Rob's new babe, Tyler, see Amy, watch Zo Zo play some b-ball (which unfortunately was cut short due to a mild concussion), experience Austin's California acquired driving skills (love you cuz), watch my Uncle Michael come to life after getting off a Harley, and ponder the meaning of life... I LOVE my CRAZY BEAUTIFUL family more than I could ever put into words. I'll let the pictures do the talking...

6.20.2011-We drove back from Reno to SLC

6.23-26.2011-I headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming for Roby's bachelorette party. It was such an amazing girls weekend. We started it off by rafting the intermediate portion of the Snake River, laid by the pool, had a house party with lots of lingerie and debauchery. The next day we did a de-tox hike around Jenny Lake (which is absolutely breathtaking), laid by the pool again and went out in downtown Jackson (the Cowboy Bar will never be the same) There were 11 girls and 3 mom's who joined in the celebration. We all had a blast and I met some wonderful women and made some stunning new friends!
