Back in the U.S. of A!


It was worth a try...
Hey guys! Since I've been back I've been doing a little traveling and enjoying spending time with family and friends. One weekend that I got to get away from the restaurant my cousin Jessica and I had ourselves a little road-trip and much deserved R&R.
We went to California's wine country. For me it was a little bit of France not far from home.  It was specially fun because I got to hang with my awesome (and crazy) cousins: Daisy, Carolyn, Rachelle and Jessica. When the three Valverde sisters get together, let me tell you, it's something else... not a dull moment in sight! Here's a pic of the five of us (can you see the resemblance?). If you look closely you can see our driver James sporting the sunglasses inside lol...

The gang

Ok, so we didn't really have a driver... he was much more than just a driver. That's my cousin Carolyn's (the one right in front of him in blue) hubby John. He really made us feel like princesses. He was our personal butler, packing us gourmet snacks like a variety of ham and cheese (for when the wine went to our heads), homemade delicious pickles, juices and water. He was also our photographer and security guard as well as our designated driver! I have to take my hat off to this guy for putting up with us ALL DAY LONG. And then some. BTW, he also cooked us an excellent dinner. It was a short weekend but definitely well spent. Thanks for tuning in! More to come soon.

All smiles after all that wine! You can also see a slight tint of purple on our teeth :P
Proud Wildcat for Life!
