1/3/16. After getting engaged in Tofino, we spent 3 days hotel hopping in Vancouver. Our first stop: Granville Island, where we had a cocktail at a fine establishment called The Liberty Distillery.

Aboard a tiny plane en route to Tofino, an island off the coast of Vancouver where Shep proposed.

In Tofino, we walked to breakfast and then took a hike to a secret lake off the beaten path. It was a hidden world just a few feet beyond where we'd been for days.

Santa Barbara, May 2015. Mature as we may look here, we have a bottle from Demetria diligently saved for 2018. (Here's hoping we don't cave.)

From the tiny plane from Vancouver to Tofino. Not a bad way to spend 45 minutes. :)

September 8th, 2013. Surprise birthday weekend for Amanda at Chateau Marmont, complete with dinner at José Andrés' Bazaar!!! This guy.

October 25, 2013. Shep and I spent a week down in Pawleys, and fell in love with the place. We fibbed and said we were engaged so we could tour Litchfield Plantation. Took this pic on our tour :)

Shep + Nicky at Moonshadows in Malibu, CA. No Mel Gibson that afternoon, but crazy came in the form of a sunset.

String Cheese at the Greek! Shep drew Amanda into the wide world of jam bands....and she's never quite been the same.
