After a late arrival last night, the plan for our first day in California was to just spend some much needed time with our west coast family. We slept in, went to a movie, dined alfresco in David and Taryn's new town (they moved to Lodi over the summer), then sent the kids home with Grambot and PawPaw to play while the rest of us went wine and cider tasting downtown. We ended the day with pizza delivery, puppy play, and The Walking Dead (while the kids played safely upstairs - it comes on a LOT earlier on the west coast).
We flew out of the Monroe airport for the first time and the experience was excellent. It's even smaller than the Jackson airport (and cheaper this time around), so everything from check in to security was almost ridiculously easy and fast. And parking was cheaper (and closer to the front door, even for long term). The only bummer was a complete lack of food options on site, but knowing that ahead of time, we grabbed lunch up the street before arriving.
Goodbye kiddos! (SOOO excited to be back to together!!)
Starting off at Jeremy's tasting room:
After the tasting (and a bottle of wine that we enjoyed on the back patio while catching up on life), we walked over to Scotto's:
After all that, I ended up needing a recovery nap, but not before I got some snuggles in with Falkor (the Bacon's new golden retriever puppy):
