I never cease to be delighted by the beauty of the Earth. Being in the flatlands of the Midwest, we see nothing like the scenery in your photos (the outdoor ones. NOT Mr. Bear being naughty ).

Both were awesome. I guess Napa Valley is next on the list.

There's no one there! We did the B&B on the coast thing on our honeymoon, starting in mid week in early November. The places we stayed at on weekdays had no one (literally) there, and the owners were rather surprised to have us. I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

But let me warn you now. If you come up and do Napa/Sonoma/Russian River wine country without letting me know where and when to meet you, I'm not letting you off as easily as snippy did.

We knew we were going to take a leisurely route home, but the whole vineyard tour was pretty much a spur of the moment decision. I promise to be a better Axiomite on my next trip North.
