This was my experience!
11 years ago a three week trip to Italy with mom and Paul was winding down.
We spent some time at a b and B run by the most amazing people Diana and Mischa.
This photo came up on my Facebook memories. 11 years ago yesterday this was where I was hanging out.
No one wanted to join me at a wine bar in Acqui Terme. I have made my own wine bar at the b and b. I sat in the sun enjoying the sounds of farm equipment, max (the B and B dog) playing with the giant lobster we brought him from Canada, and crescendo of birds.
Magic.
Well, it was Jake and I. He really wanted me up and he felt the way to get me up was to attack my feet repeatedly. I have the scratches to show for it. LOL
In 2014 Mom, my sister Rose, Paul and I travelled to Sonoma for a week around Thanksgiving. We flew into San Franscisco and after spending a few days there we drove north to the Russian River valley area. We rented a house in Guerneville and spent the week travelling around Sonoma. We visited an art preserve, wineries, wandered historic Sonoma, checked out the historic towns of the Russian River Valley and Fort Ross the old Russian Fort on the coast. We recreated a pic we took on our last evening in the area in 2004 on our final night - dinner at the famous Rivers End restaurant.
My mother passed away last Wednesday after a thankfully short illness with cancer. The Travel Tuesday post is dedicated to her and the many adventures we had over the years.
