This morning Megan and I got up late and after breakfast were debating what to do with our day. We knew it was going to be nice outside and we didn't want to waste it, especially because we were both here and available and that doesn't happen often. We settled on going to Healdsburg to visit a winery owned by some of her family friends. We quickly got ready and were out the door around 11am; we blasted music on the way and had the sunroof open most of the time (we had to close it going through the city because it actually started sprinkling). We picked up lunch in Novato along the way and when we finally arrived we had a free tasting session and enjoyed our lunch on the patio overlooking the surrounding vineyards. We enjoyed the wonderful peace and quiet of the afternoon and walked around to take pictures, etc. We were up there for a couple of hours and sampled more wine and an array of different olive oil blends made in an adjacent building before getting back in the car and heading towards home.
We again stopped in Novato on the way back to change into the running gear we brought. We had originally planned to jog across the Golden Gate Bridge but it was crazy packed when we got there so we ditched that plan and headed to the coast to see if we could jog along the beach. It ended up being a wonderful idea and 3.5 miles later we had sand in our shoes and our legs were tired, but we had a great time. The weather couldn't have been better and it was fun to watch people surfing and enjoying the water. We ended the day at dinner with the Juarez family (people Megan knows through tutoring; they have welcomed me into the clan and cook up some amazing meals) and for the second night in a row I am kind of uncomfortably full. The olympic coverage is over for the evening so that means time for bed after a great end to the weekend.
