Heading North

We headed on up and out of California today.  Ending our day in Eugene, OR.  My first visit to this state. Another beautiful day with more gorgeous scenery.  We even bumped into Paul Bunyon! Crazy! Saw some enormous redwoods, silly roadside art sculptures, and smelled the aroma of "skunk" - but the locals tell me it's something else. Something herbal-but of course.

We ate dinner at a local pizzeria and we're ending the evening with a bottle of The Director's Cut Zinfandel...our souvenir from the Francis Ford Coppola winery. A fabulous end to another wonderful day out West with my lover boy/husband! Tomorrow is the official day of our FIVE year anniversary! It's been a blast! I feel so blessed. Time flies when you're having fun!

On The Road Again

Jeff and I headed out of Napa today. We stopped by The Fremont Diner in Sonoma and picked up some biscuits to-go...and they were incredible. Next time I'm back in these neck of the woods I will be going back there for a sit down meal! Afterwards, we drove to Geyserville to do some tastings at Francis Ford Coppola. That was truly a wonderful experience. Such a beautiful winery - with amazing wine!! The drive felt long today, but the scenery is breath taking and the air feels so fresh. We ended our day in Eureka, CA. - kind of an odd town....but you have to sleep somewhere!  Tonight we had some nice, "Hawaiian" comfort food. My belly is full. Going to bed now. Need to rest up for another adventurous day on the road.
