Vacation Road Trip

When it was time to leave our

lovely Sonoma Valley hideaway, 

we made our way over to Napa.

We stopped by 

the Oxbow Public Market

where we picked up some

cherries from the farmer's market, 

some of Kara's Cupcakes,

a fresh loaf from 

the Model Bakery, 

& Z's favorite, 

some charcuterie delicacies from

the Fatted Calf.

We took our yummy treats

& headed for San Francisco.

It was raining as we drove over 

the Bay Bridge...

But by the time we arrived at

Golden Gate Park, 

the precipitation had paused.

We had a cozy picnic in our car

before taking a stroll around the park.

We hit the road again, 

driving along the coast on the 

gorgeous 101

until we reached Santa Cruz.

Finally, we stopped for 

a bite to eat before heading home

& came across this fellow.

We could have used a few more days of vacation,

but what a fabulous way to end the trip!
