Today was the last day of this vacation, it's been really fun for all three of us. I got Kathe up this morning at 5:45 so that she could see the fog roll in from the ocean. The fog is one of the things that makes Paso Robles such a great wine region. This park has a gate that opens right into a vineyard and we went for a walk down the rows of almost ready to harvest grapes. We went back to sleep after our walk and stayed in bed until almost 9:30. It was a lazy start to a lazy day.
Somewhere around 11:00 they decided to go wine tasting and to pick up some wine to take back home. First, they stopped at J.Lohr and needed a hand truck to load up all the wine that's been waiting for pickup, and then it was on to Le Vigne for six more bottles. The final stop was to a new winery called Daou Winery and that was really a wonderful surprise. It's a beautiful setting, the highest winery in Paso Robles at over 2,000 feet in elevation. The 360 degree view was breathtaking and the wines were outstanding. They liked it so much they even joined the wine club! After tasting the wines they enjoyed a gourmet lunch with a glass of wine outside in the sunshine. We've had a great seven weeks on the road, but we are all looking forward to going home tomorrow. I can't wait to sleep in my own doggie bed again and bark at the neighbor's golden retriever until my throat gets sore. I know it won't be long before Kathe and Jim get the traveling bug again and we'll be off on another adventure.
Until then....
Annie
