Temecula Winery - Frangipani

About two years ago I went to Frangipani Winery with some friends and I remember thinking how much my Dad and Mom would love it! I have been wanting to take them ever since and I was finally able to this past visit !

This is my favorite Winery in Temecula, it's off the beaten path and not like your typical wineries. There is a patio with a gorgeous view where you can sit and relax while tasting your wine and down below they created a space amongst the vineyards where you can play some Bocce Ball ! If you live in the area I highly recommend going here with some friends, the wine list is not that large but what they do offer is good !

Seaport Village and Del Mar

Last week my parents flew in from PA for Kyler's first birthday party, I always love when they come in because We get to do "touristy" things we wouldn't normally do !
I have a few different post I will be sharing from our week but unfortunately I am having a problem with my Lightroom and I was unable to edit most of them =( So I will just have to share the unedited photos and hopefully get this problem resolved soon!

The first few days before the party we spent a lot of time at the beach and going to little beach towns along the coast, here are a few photos from when we went to Del Mar, Seaport Village and some local beaches in Encinitas !

We had a great week last week! I drank lots of coffee as usual, baked some banana apple breakfast bread, bought a beautiful print, enjoyed some quiet time while the baby napped, went to the beach and soaked up some sun and than spent some time over at the beautiful flower fields looking at everything in bloom while eating a sundae!

Saturday we enjoyed a lovely morning in Carlsbad! We headed over to Cafe Elysa for breakfast, the coffee was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was great but the food ... not so good, unfortunately ! We still had a really great time tho, just hanging out and enjoying having daddy around! Afterwards we headed over to the beach so the little guy could play in the sand ... I'm really looking forward to this summer, I think we have a little beach baby on our hands =)
