It was a good trip. Upgrades came through on both plane rides. The rental was lovely for ten days. The weather did warm and there was a great deal of beach walking. The Gulf was roiling most of the time we were there. The trip cost us a couple of thousand plus food, which probably […]
Trips
Idyll Hounds Brewing Company near Santa Rosa
