Pictures from the CA trip.
I'm finally able to upload to my FTP server again, I don't even know why I couldn't, but apparently it's working again, so, here, albeit a bit delayed, are a few pictures from our trip to California. Most all of them are in Napa Valley, in Calistoga (Golden Haven Spa) or St. Hellena (Cooking Institute of America - Greystone restaurant), the one where I'm with stickers is at Mrs. Grossman's sticker factory in Petaluma, CA, and the one of my mom and I inside is at her place in San Jose. To see any of the pictures larger simply right click and view in new tab. I know I look like I had a fake smile in every picture, but I was in loads of physical pain during most of these pictures. I think they look pretty good considering I spent most of that time walking with my cane. I still need to optimize the pictures I took with my camera, so those will be another post soon. My favorites are grandma with the artichoke plant, and Kevin in the roadside chapel.
The first two are from my sister's camera. The rest are from my mom's camera.

Looks like you had such a fun time. You look so happy! Especially with all those stickers :) You and your sister look so much alike. My sis and I look totally opposite.
I guess my sister and I look a bit alike. I've never thought we have, but people have said it over the years. I know the structure of our faces are pretty similar, and we're both short...
I have very dark hair, brown almost black (currently I dyed it all black, I like it a lot) and crap brown eyes. She has these pale blue eyes and sandy blond/brown hair, it's always seemed so different to me. But in high-school people kept pointing my sister out to me and I didn't even tell anyone I was related at first (not rude, I was just uber shy and didn't talk about anyone or anything, kept my nose stuck in books.) But they kept saying, "Oh she totally looks like you!" or "Your sister is fun!"
I think another part of it is that my mom and grandma say I look like a "reincarnation" of one of my great-grandmothers. And when I look at photos I have to agree, it seems like I'm looking at photos of myself stylized to be old. Kind of cool really. I don't really have those photos though, maybe someday.
I've always been told my sister looks Baker and I look Koleckar, and in a lot of ways I know that's true. But I do know as sisters we both have the same blend of family tree.
