Starting out in the ol' LeBaron convertible. No muffler, bashed in sides, and all...i am sure we made quite a sight flying down the freeway!
Addie and Art wore matching caps they got for free from the Winesmith in Placerville.
Drinks at Ernie's Tin Shed, the classic roadside stop off, and then snacks from Andy's Market in Sebastopol where we also got free doughnuts!
Up the road in the deep foresty enchanted country of the Russian River, we had to finally ditch the old muffler which was hitting the ground regularly. Now that's a road trip!
It's an achingly beautiful drive. We are in love with all the old shingled river houses on stilts...we call them gypsy barracks.
Heading out to the ocean.
I took a picture in front of Joey's favorite sea shanties where he always used to say him, Stan, Martin and Matt Trudeau were going to live.
My favorite!
Then we headed back to Santa Rosa to our destination: the infamous Russian River Brewery where there was some live music playing that sounded just like Big Head Todd and the Monsters:
Now this is our favorite brewery on earth so far. They make such delicious and strangely tantalizing concoctions with names like Perdition, Sanctification, and Consecration. They were out of Addie's favorite: Mortification, but we did drink a few good old Pliny the Elders. YIKES. they are so so so good but they throw you for a loop.
We ended up having a great time gallivanting around downtown Santa Rosa through the night with new and old friends and staying in a cute little bungalow motel room that Addie reserved for us. It was a great time and I hope we'll go back soon.
