A once in a lifetime event is happening today! Summer Solstice melding with the Strawberry Moon…a full moon on the longest day of the year is only to happen once every 70 years and we get to experience it! Not only do I love the summer solstice and full moons but it is also my […]

Hike, Wine, Sunsets
Go for a hike in beautiful countryside in the morning, grab a bite at a local restaurant serving local ingredients, taste wine at an organic winery in the afternoon and head to the beach in the evening to watch the sunset over the great Pacific Ocean. This is definitely the life! Of course we have […]
Wineland 2015 Day 2
Day 2 started with the hubs on a wanted poster! I’ll explain in a minute 🙂 We hadn’t been to Rodney Strong Vineyards yet and were eager to check out since we see they have several events throughout the summer advertised. The grounds were beautiful but the outside of the building lacked some of the more beautiful architecture we […]
Wineland 2015 Day 1
Snow falling in Sonoma? Only at the wineries on the Wine Road Winter Wineland Event this past weekend! The hubs and I spent hours figuring out which of the 140+ wineries we would attempt to visit in 10 hours over 2 days. We had it all loosely mapped out by Saturday morning, water bottles filled, […]
Riverfront Park
The great explorers were lost from time to time, right? I usually have a handy printed map with us on our hikes since we don’t always have reception where we go but this one looked so simple that I didn’t bother. Nor did we really bother with looking at the map posted at the trail parking lot […]
SOFA Parade
Your town doesn’t have a parade of couches all decorated and lit up cruising down the street? Seriously you’ve never been to a sofa parade? Clearly you need to experience the wonder of what can happen when an art district gets together for a celebration on a sofa! Here in Santa Rosa, CA the art district is located South […]
Nature Lover
Did you see me on the side of the road, top down (the car top not mine!), standing on the seat of my car poised and ready to take fall foliage shots of a gorgeous winery in Sonoma? Did you laugh as you drove by or think to yourself ‘wow! I’d love to get that […]
Holy Fall!
When did fall sneak up on us? When oranges, reds, and yellows exploded all over the greens! The views while driving in Sonoma are hard to beat any time of year but right now they have to rival the east coast fall glory. We took advantage of the wonderful opportunity to go on a couple free self-guided tours of […]
Paradise Ridge
Do you ever have those moments when you sit back and realize, wow I live in an amazing place? I do! Every time we get out and enjoy what the area has to offer I feel so grateful we are able to live where we do. This may not be our forever home but it […]
