Our Mini-Moon
We had our mini-moon in Napa Valley. It was a very wonderful trip disregard the weather. When we went there in September, we were caught in the middle of a heat wave. We spent two days in Napa and our third day in San Francisco and Palo Alto area.
The B&B we stayed at is a very neat house. Mom and Dad (Sharon and Terry) purchased us a honeymoon package there. We love it. The owners of the B&B make our stay very wonderful. They hosted wine reception every evening. We had some wine and got to know people staying at the B&B.
It was a pretty brave decision to bike in the wine country. Had I known the biking situation in CA, I probably would have objected to this idea. Unlike the east coast, bike lanes are just seperated by a white line. But it was great fun and a good workout, I have to admit. We stopped at three vineyards: Frog's Leap, Miner and Cliff Lede. Each has its own specialty. Frog's Leap produces organic wine, Miner is powered by solar energy and Cliff Lede has a very nice gallery (the video I posted earlier was shot there).
Then we drove to San Francisco. We stayed at Hyatt near one of the piers. We could see the Bay Bridge from our room. We then went to Palo Alto and visited Apple's headquarter. The picture below was taken at Infinite Loop.
It was a very short trip but an unforgettable one.The Kitties
Simon and Susie are doing great. They are now one year old. Simon looks like an adult cat but he sometimes still acts like a baby. Susie still has a baby face. They acted a bit weirdly the day when my parents but got over pretty soon.
Our life
People asked me, "Jessica, how's the married life?" "I really don't feel that much different from my single life". That is always my answer. We feel very happy.
Because of the busy summer, we recently realized we haven't gone hiking for a long time. Over the last few weeks, we went to Middlesex Fells Reservation twice. Probably will go again this weekend if the weather is good.
Our work
We still work at the same companies. Not many changes. I switched job within Biogen.
I received my CPA designation this evening. In the future, I can CPA next to my name. I am still working on Level III of CFA.
