Just returned from a wonderful trip to visit friends in Salem, Oregon, where we visited small towns, wineries, and went to a minor league baseball game in Salem. We had terrific weather and a great time with good friends. From there we rented a car and drove to Napa Valley where we stayed for three days in the wine country sampling delicious wines, eating out, and just relaxing.
A visit to San Francisco and Sunnyvale where Cindy's brother and wife live topped off our vacation. We had a great lunch at the Cliff House on the Pacific Ocean. What a treat that was. The view of the ocean, waves crashing onto the rocks below, and surfers riding the breakers as they rolled toward the beach was outstanding.
We boarded a flight out of San Jose and flew back to Minneapolis Monday and drove home that evening, stopping only for a quick bite at Wendy's restaurant in Owatonna.
It was a restful, wonderful trip that allowed us to reconnect with friends and experience a beautiful drive through Oregon and northern California.
Now, it's back to work writing this week. I don't know if I mentioned this in a previous post but I interviewed my older brother before we left on our trip about his Viet Nam War experiences. We spent six and a half hours conversing and ended up with some great material to include in the new book-Brothers.
