cycling in sonoma
this was one of my favorite days of my entire life
and it’s one of my favorite posts because of that.
i hope the warm sun and happiness from this day
comes out of these photos. it was a day
that i never wanted to end! i love any time
spent with my family and parents, but this visit
knowing it was their last visit before they
move abroad for 3 years…i really stopped to
soak it up. i wanted to cry half the time thinking
of them leaving, but we were having too good
a time to be too sad. i’m so glad i have these
photos to help me remember my most favorite
day with my three favorite people spent on bikes
in an incredible place. life is beautiful!
^^ mama + husband. two people i adore!
^^ we rode past the cutest lady painting a vineyard…
we had to stop and make friends. she had a picnic
and her paint supplies and had done this in an hour!
she comes once a week to a new vineyard and paints.
not a bad life i’d say.. if only i had talent for art! :)
^^ sonoma is a place where you
literally stop & smell the roses.
^^ we went into a few wineries despite the fact that
we are not wine drinkers…let me tell you, there is
so much more to this area than the wine…which i’m sure
is incredible! we loved learning about the history of
the area, seeing the process at the winery, and meeting
so many nice people. everyone is happy when in sonoma!
^^ i love this picture of this boy that i love :)
^^ the wineries are g o r g e o u s.

Gorgeous pictures!
this looks so amazing! it is so wonderful to have these sorts of days that you will remember the rest of your life. i would love to visits sonoma.
I’m so happy that you were able to have that quality time with your parents before they leave. Your whole family will be blessed in ways you can’t even imagine with your parents on a mission! Coming from a huge family of missionaries, I can truly say that missionary work blesses the whole family and countless others. :) I admire your parents, even though I’ve never met them. I can see their goodness.
you are too sweet!!! that means so much, and they will love seeing this comment. it will be hard to have them gone for three years, but i know there’s nothing better they could be doing!! xo
