Today was a special adventure. Dad and Bonnie joined Chris and I for a day in the Santa Barbara wine country. I was able to take the day off so the four of us could do this little get away while the kids were in school. We started off in the quaint Danish village of Solvang for a light lunch. There are some really nice shops here so we walked off our lunch by strolling the streets. At one point Dad and I snuck away to find a Geocache that was in the area. We then proceeded to the LaFond Winery in nearby Buellton after our tasting we refilled our glasses with our favorite vino and headed to the picnic area for some bread, cheese and dark chocolate. The setting was beautiful, with golden brown leaves on the vines and crystal blue sky overhead. It was nice to just sit and talk and relax. We then headed to the Melville Winery for our final tasting of the day. This is my favorite winery in the entire area. Great setting, beautiful decor and good wine too. Our final stop was at Andersen's Pea Soup to do my final Geocache of the day. It was a virtual that had 11 questions to answer. More that I would have done, but it was still fun. We headed south around sunset and made a stop in Ventura harbor for dinner at our favorite little fish shack Andrea's. From there we headed home. What a fun day.
