After leaving Santa Barbara, we spent a couple of days in San Luis Obispo. We had a really good lunch downtown and bought some really awesome aged balsamic vinegar. From there we drove to Monterey, to spend some time with my grandparents. We had an awesome Christmas dinner that Ben cooked most of. I made dessert, which included lime squares (which came out alright) and the best apple pie in the world. We spent some time with my mom, as she was visiting for a week also. On Dec 29th, we left Monterey and went up to Martinez. We had a very relaxing drive, and we stopped in Gilroy and a neat little market. We got some really cheap garlic and oranges and other stuff; we even bought a little ice cream cup of GARLIC ICE CREAM which I thought was actually really good (no one else liked it).
Last weekend, Ben's parents were here and we spent a nice day going to some wineries and then having dinner at Redd in Yountville, near Napa. It's been really nice to see so much family in the past month!
So we've been in Martinez for a month now, and I only just started working today. We'll probably be here for another six to eight weeks, after which we will begin to head back to the east coast. We'll try to remember to update our blogs, but we're mainly focused on working and making money right now. We are going to make sure we get at least a few days of leisure time in San Francisco and Oakland and Berkeley, so we'll write about that.
Until next time...
