Two Saturdays

I've neglected this blog now for 2 weeks! Sorry for the delay and I promise to do better.

The first Saturday (May 22nd, our 17th wedding anniversary) was spent in Morro Bay. We left Arizona on Thursday, stayed overnight in Barstow, CA and drove to Morro Bay Friday. We met 4 other couples at the Inn at Morro Bay for a fun filled weekend. Saturday we went to 5 wineries, trying different California wines and learning how they make the wines. You could spend a month in Paso Robles going to all the wineries but we enjoyed the ones we went to. If you ever get a chance, try Wild Coyote wine. It was a favorite with our group.

From Morro Bay we went back to Orange County to get our stuff out of storage, have MORE work done on the motorhome, and see friends and family one more time (go to YouTube and type in Kevin Ayers to see three videos of him playing guitar - they are fabulous). Then we headed north for Oregon.  Ken drove the motorhome and towed a U-Haul trailer, and I followed behind in the Durango. We had walkie-talkies (you're not allowed to use your cell phone while driving in California unless it hands-free) and we called each other Big Blue & Little Blue. We made it to Lodi Friday night and got to Medford, Oregon Saturday afternoon. On the way north, we passed Mt. Shasta and had to stop and take a picture! It was a beautiful day and a beautiful view.

We are in the process of becoming Oregon residents so we'll be here a while but we plan to take some side trips to Klamath Falls, Bend, and the coast! From here we will head north and east. Our goal is to be in New England for the fall colors in October. Come join us if you can!
