So after packing up our entire apartment in San Diego, throwing out or donating most things, and putting the rest in storage, we were on the road to start our 8 hour drive north. Had a little In N Out for dinner and drove halfway the first night saying in a "hoe dunky" town near Bakersfield.
We like to take traveling slow, no matter where we're going. It makes it more relaxing to drive 4 hours instead of plowing through 8. So the next morning we got up and made it to my dad's house. He lives in Pleasanton, just outside of the city of SF by about 30 minutes. Adam and I unloaded our things and found the nearest happy hour in Downtown Pleasanton. Adam is really liking it here. He says it reminds him of Pittsburgh with most of the streets filled with full grown trees, and the air being crisp and cool. We're both missing San Diego, (maybe me a little more), but we're also excited about this new part of our lives:)
We enjoyed a couple home brewed beers and amazing garlic fries. We then went looking for a Liquor shop to grab a bottle of wine and instead found a wine shop that was offering tastings. After trying 6 different types of wine, we settled on a bottle from Australia. (We'll have plenty of time to try all the different wines in our new area, ie: Napa, Russian River, etc.) The owner was incredibly hospitable, even if he first told us that "No Padre fans would be allowed in." Today we woke up and worked out, laid at the pool, and did a quick shopping spree at Trader Joe's for the next couple days. We plan on eating, drinking, and relaxing... followed by more eating, drinking, and relaxing when we leave for Europe this Tuesday. First stop: IRELAND!
