Koren and Ellen in San Fran

Ellen was one of my college roommates, sorority sisters and one of my dearest friends since 1996. We try to take turns visiting each year but last year Ellen had her third baby (Connor) so it had been almost 2 years since we were last together. It was my first time meeting Connor! The twins (Ella & Laila) are now 2.5!
It was a great trip!! Long overdue! We spent some time at home with the kids and Svai...even got to see her sisters. Then we had some much needed time away...in wine county! We spent two days going to different wineries, hiked the trails, walked through cute downtown Healdsburg, ate amazing meals and shopped the outlets on the way home. Amazing time!!
