Memorial Day 2013

Here are a some pictures from an amazing Memorial Day weekend! We stayed in Half Moon Bay, and spent a day in San Francisco as well as a winery tour through Santa Cruz.
These pictures don’t do it justice, but I tried to capture as much of the beauty Northern California offers as I could! From wine tasting in the middle of the Redwoods to playing a little baseball in the rec yard of Alcatraz, this trip was one for the record books!
