Vacation with Wayne and Amy

We did a road trip to San Luis Obispo to meet up with our long time friends who live in Baltimore. They were doing a West Coast road trip starting in the San Francisco area visiting their daughter and sights down the coast. We met 25 years ago when they were neighbors in our La Mirada, CA condo. We connected in SLO for a bit of wine tasting and exploring the area. Amy and I are checking out the beautiful grapes in clusters with colors from green to purple on the same stem.

This is our favorite winery. We have visited Castoro a few times during the past 20 years. They moved from the original home, up the hill to a beautiful facility that accommodates major events. Mike, me, Amy and Wayne pose with my 10 sec. timer :)

Wayne and Amy traveled further south and spent the last two days of their trip in San Clemente. A tour of the Casa was on top of their list. Here they are, checking out the beautiful ocean and the native garden.

Then we put them to work, shucking corn on the deck. They shared a 'google recipe' to BBQ them. And the corn was yummy! It was great to catch up with our East Coast/wanna be back on the West Coast, friends.
