dinosaur world 365.141

as we drove to and from orlando this afternoon we passed dinosaur world. i begged, i pleaded can we please go, i promise i will be good and won't ask for anything else. Did we go? NO!! how will i ever deal with this disappointment?

on our way to tampa 365.140

as we left boston it was snowing and sleeting, our plane had to get de-iced. as we rose above the cloud cover it was beautiful a sea of clouds that seemed peaceful from this vantage point. the weekend will be full of family and fun and warm weather. i am already wearing my flip-flops!

honeymoon memories 365.120

we are in NY for a wedding we are staying at home of our friends the Fish's, while we were honeymooning in Argentina (almost a year ago!!) we spotted this fantastic mobile at an artists fair, clearly perfect for friends who have the last name Fish. Anyway seeing the mobile again made me smile.

ORD 365.103

before you know that you are going to be stuck at (the apparently unheated) O'Hare international airport for the several hours, one may get giddy at the prospect of traveling through the united terminal underpass. . . despite the fact that its 5:30 am. i'm just saying its an option.. being giddy thats all.

adventures in three counties 365.100

woohoo!! i have made it to 100!! so today gets 3 pictures one for every county and digit!
today we went to the marin headlands and the iconic golden gate bridge. it was the first clear day and it was beautiful!
we then headed up to sonoma county for more wine tasting we started out at viansa winery which also had a food marketplace. a great place to start out and oh so beautiful, even though its winter the landscape is still breath-taking.

we made a couple more stops and finished up at Hagafen the only Kosher vintner in the region. it was lovely and the place was jammed we ended up with a couple bottle and they lets us pick pomelos (the pictures are not flattering!) the sign for the vineyard is small and at the entrance the only indication that you are in a jewish place is the date establishment in hebrew and the discreetly placed mezzuzah.

wine tasting 365.99

today we visited napa valley...

we went wine tasting,


picked meyer lemons, got pampered at a spa in calistoga and ate at Ad Hoc.. quite simply we were spoiled

redwood 365.98

today we went to Muir Woods, which is an accessible walk in the woods from berkeley, though the drive there made me a queasy (think windy road + lots of fog.. so you know you are on a cliff but can't even see how far down it goes) this is will standing next to a tree... a big tall tree.

this is me and the bestie walking along the path... discussing such important things as sneaker vents...

more chocolate 365.97

today we went on a tour of the Scharffen Berger factory where they make outstanding chocolate, they also make you wear a hair net. sadly the chocolate makers were on vacation, but happily lots of free samples were handed out!!

where am I? 365.96

so while strolling along in san francisco on our way to the ferry building for some lunch and chocolate before gearing up for for modern art at SFMOMA. we saw this "boston elevated railway" trolley car. i kept wondering if i got on would it take me home.. anyway it seems that the the SF transit system bought old trolley cars from around the world and refurbished them for use on their streetcar system. al gore would be proud.

i'm gonna miss my puppy 365.94

while i am super excited to go out west.. i am going to miss my puppy something fierce. here is stressed out that the suitcase is out and that he is getting so much attention during what is normally his nap time...
