A Week in California
May 10th, 2010| by: Phil | Announcements, Photography | 3 Comments »I took a week off work to meet Becca and Nate in Oakland, CA as they returned from their 7 month trip abroad. We stayed with Leah, Nate’s sister, and had a grande time lounging around, drinking wine, eating cheese and playing Yahtzee. We took a day trip up to Dry Creek Road in Sonoma County for an all day Wine Tasting Event wherein we visited Wilson Winery, Quivira Winery, & Bella Winery and another one that I can’t recall the name of… (I wonder why I don’t remember the name of the last Winery we stopped at…)
We also took a day trip down to Santa Cruz where we enjoyed beautiful weather and watched the surfers enjoying themselves in the water around the Santa Cruz Surfers Museum. Both trips gave us lots of time to enjoy the beauty that is Highway 1 as it winds up and down the California Coast. It was a great week; great food, great city, great wine, great weather, mediocre company.
Couldn’t ask for more. Enjoy the photos.
And for even more fun, enjoy all the writing and photos that Becca and Nate have contributed to this wonderful week:
Hi & Thank You : Sonoma County
phil. You have charm and a great sense of humor. Wish our next rendezvous was sooner.
Nate…it will be sooner than we both know!
I just saw this post! Sounds like a fun trip. I love the drive along hwy 1. And I’m glad you stopped at Quivira, my good friend is the sommelier there and also does some bee keeping. He always brings us their Rose wine.
