Saturday in the South Bay





A beautiful Saturday afternoon in the South Bay gave us the perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy some friends, wine, food and...more wine. Ok, ok, as I mentioned several times throughout the day, Laura was to stick strictly to white wine for the health of the baby!

Anyway, the hills literally down the street from us have a bunch of wineries, a few of which we were able to take in with some college friends. Not only did we taste some good wine (and some not so good), but the scenery, including peacocks and horses was quite surreal. There were several “welcome to California” moments which were a great diversion for a couple of outdoors starved Midwesterners!

Our descent into Los Gatos for the evening brought us to the Pederson’s home for what can only be described as a five star dinner – thanks again, Maribeth (and Mark)! Somehow, even dusty old Wisconsin stories are better with Orange Roughy than brats.

So, hopefully a few more California diversions for us before our ultimate diversion (and love) shows up. I’ll admit, I don’t think I truly know what I’m in for but I’m buzzing with anticipation and excitement for it either way.
