It’s been a busy month for Rachel and I. We moved at the beginning of the month to a new apartment (and we should probably post some photos of that soon). We’re slowly getting settled but it’s been tough because my parents were in town a couple weeks later, then we were in Sonoma County visiting Rachel’s grandparents and now we’re in La Mirada for Thanksgiving!

We had a great time in Cloverdale, California. Our Baker grandparent’s home is beautiful and sits on almost 200 acres of land. We took a 20 minute walk on Friday and didn’t see even half of the property. On Friday we also took a nice drive for lunch in Occidental. We took the scenic route there which took about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, I was driving so we don’t have any pictures but it was a beautiful overcast day and the vineyards were all red and orange.  We also saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Friday night.

Saturday was nice and relaxing. It was raining off and on most of the day so we sat inside by the fire and read and watched a few movies. We also took advantage of a break in the rain to take a few photos for our Christmas card (coming soon!). On Sunday we left in the morning with enough time to spend about an hour in San Francisco before we had to be a the airport. We had just enough time to snap a few photos at the Golden Gate Bridge and run into Ghirardelli to buy some chocolate.

And now for the photos and a video from the weekend.
