Memorial Weekend Small Getaway

We spent a weekend in Livermore, CA. The weather was nice, more importantly, the adults and the kids all had fun. 

On Sunday, we went to Oakland Zoo. It was busier than usual, but we still got to see our animals and take our pictures.




Kids loved the cable car ride. I guess both of them are not afraid of heights then.

Back to the hotel. Sophie picked chocolate flavored ice cream to share with Brandon. Look how excited Brandon looked. ^^


The next day, we were happy to have the grandparents joining in on our fun. We took a stroll along downtown Livermore in the morning and found some neat spots along the way.


Sophie was gathering sticks to make alphabets. =)


Next, we went to Retzlaff Vineyards and Winery for some wine tasting.

This is the only winery in all of Alameda County that brews organic wine from their own organic grapes.

The owner's father apparently loved kids, so he picked up many of these cute kid-sized tractors from some farm supply place that he used to go to. You can't buy these anywhere now, according to the owner's wife. So while the adults tasted wine, the kids kept themselves busy too.







Afterward, we headed over to lunch at the Wente. Both kids were fast asleep in their carseats behind my dad and Tim throughout our meal.



In the afternoon, we stopped by Del Valle Regional Park for some boating fun.











At last, we had Mongolian hotpot to wrap up our long weekend in Livermore.  Um...um...
