A Visit to the Sea .....

God has created such a magnificent place for all of us to enjoy. As a resident of California I am continually reminded how blessed I am to live in such a beautiful state. The past weekend six of us hit the road for the Central California Coast to enjoy a "girls weekend." Oh, what a wonderful time we had enjoying good food, tasting new wines, beautiful scenic drives and laughing together like only women can do!

Here we are! Home Sweet Home while we visit beautiful Cambria. We rented this large roomy home for 4 days, so much nicer then a hotel!!

The fridge is stocked with Yellow Tail and beer ...

  Lots of bottled water and Tanya's diet coke!

Wild berry vines were growing everywhere and loaded with plump berries ...
Such a tiny quaint little hamlet!

Ronna and I spent one day together touring several little towns, Harmony was by far the smallest!

Harmony glass blowing shop ... such a cool place to visit.

Now these are my kind of flowers!
 Ronna and I enjoyed this little village so much we wanted to be sure and bring all the gals back to see it. The next morning bright and early we were visiting the Harmony Vineyards Winery. These were just the nicest folks running the wine tasting room.

Welcome to the Wine Tasting! Let's go inside ....

A view of the valley ...

Candace and Danae enjoying some Chardonnay ....


We were invited inside the actual winery to see where the magic happens! Let's go ...
 

This wonderful place oozed the odor of oak! The casks used for these wines were made from American, Eastern European and French oak. The cost of each cask varied in price from $500.00 to $1,000.00 per cask! These were housing red wines of the future ..
Here we are ... the whole gang!
 Tomorrow I will finish up with days three and four! See you then.
