Spontaneous Weekend

It is really rare that we have a weekend when we are both home and do not have any plans. In fact, I really cannot think of the last time we did. But there we were on Friday night with our car packed up and we were off for our weekend adventure. We started it off right, in Saint Helena at a friends for a delicious bbq dinner. That night we got very little sleep, thanks to some rowdy boys and a toddler who was feeling left out of the action and kept asking to go play with his friends.
Saturday we were in Calistoga with our friends Jess and Hossein who graciously let us stay at their condo and bring along my sister too. There are not a lot of people I could call up/text and ask if we can come and stay with only one day notice. Adam got to go golfing with Hossein (his first time this year) and Jess, Aunt Jess, Owen and I went wine tasting along the beach. We walked to the beach and you can see the white tents where we are wine tasting in Capitola Village.

Afterwards Owen really needed to get out of the stroller and run on the beach. I think the ocean just makes people happy.

On Sunday morning we took Owen to the farm - Jess' parents' house that has a huge garden/orchard. Owen had so much fun feeding the Koi fish and the chickens, collecting eggs and picking apples, strawberries, carrots and tomatoes.

The entire weekend we never had more than an hour ahead planned out at a time. It was so spontaneous, I do not think we could reproduce that weekend if we tried again.
