My San Francisco (December 31 into 2012)

L: Saw some amazing tree trunks and branches that boldly curved down to the ground. There's Albert reaching for it :) Here, I was thankful for the inspiration and countless drawing ideas.
R: We went on the most exhilarating slide twice while sitting on cardboard. The slide meets a few sharp turns at a surprisingly fast speed, and it is SO FUN if you let yourself loose.
I love this beautiful shot of 2012's first sunset from Indian Rock with a glimpse of the Golden Gate along the horizon. Al taught me how use a "sunset calculator" without the use of a watch or cellphone. You basically make note of the sun's position, mark the horizon, and use your hands kind of as a sundial to tell in how many more minutes/hours the sun sets. Later into the trip, he also taught me how to shoot a gun at a shooting range. So I've lost count of how many proud outdoorswoman moment I had :)

Hendry Vineyard and Winery, Napa Valley (highly recommend!)
Al took me to a wine tour and wine tasting getaway in Napa for my birthday.  Not only was the whole experience romantic (as I just assumed), but informative, nerdy, funny, and unpretentious. We had an amazing experience and I can't wait to return for another visit.
