It's another working weekend for Terry and me. But, in my fantasy we have already packed our fancy posh travel cases
and are loading our vintage convertible car
(I would like a 1957 Porsche speedster 365, black, but Terry prefers 1955 Mercedes 190sl, off white). I'm of course dressed either completely appropriate or inappropriate for travel...
(Terry's guessing this is 1956 Cadillac, if you're interested:)
... (well, it's a fancy trip!), we are either driving north to Napa Valley...
... for some wine tasting, staying over in Yountville, dining at French Laundry...
(look at these vegetables,so beautiful!)
... or south, either to Carmel...
(in my fantasy I am aso driving part of the way, in real life I'm embarassed to say that I don't drive!)
... visiting numerous little art galleries and dining overlooking the ocean...
... and staying in chaming and cozy inns, such as L'Auberge)...
... or Big Sur...
... where we will soak our tired bones in hot springs. Oh, and visiting Hearst castle!
(view from the Hearst Castle)
(That is some outdoor pool! Also Hearst Castle)
There, I almost feel like we've done it, had fun and are back in our nest. Fantasy is such a great tool.
xoxoxo
P.S. After reading this, Terry commented: "I really feel like we just took a trip. Don't ever say I never take you anywhere!"

I have been wanting to visit Hearst Castle for so long! I hope you had a lovely time whichever direction you headed!
