Here are some more pictures of our trip to California. We took an excursion to the Sonoma Valley with our Steve's childhood friend Todd and his girlfriend, Lauren.

Todd and Lauren are really funny (and classy too)!

We had a great time.

We had a driver take us to the various wineries.

We went to Muir Woods and saw the giant Redwood Trees.

We went to Sausalito, across the bay. Here we are at our table where we had lunch. The view was beautiful.

Sausalito was so nice and much warmer than SF.

We went to the Castro, where a large portion of San Fransisco's gay population lives. While we were visiting, the neighborhood was celebrating Gay Pride Weekend and the legalization of same sex marriages. It was an exciting weekend for the Castro.

The tourbook said that this is the "gayest corner in America," so I had to take a picture.

Here is the entrance to Chinatown.

There was a parade taking place in China Town. You can barely see the Chinese dragon.

We ate at a really nice restaurant in North Beach (San Fransisco's little Italy) You can see the Italian flag on the light pole in the background.

Here is a beautiful church in North Beach. I love this picture, because you can see all the cable car lines.
