M for Memorial Day and M for Mendocino :-)

After many many attempts to do a vacation together we (Us and our family friends) finally made it happen!

A quick and easy stay at the beautiful + serene + romantic Mendocino!

Day 1 - South Bay to Mendocino via North Highway 1. Not as beautiful as the South Highway 1, but Sinston Beach, Point Arena Light house might make up for the long drive! There are few more vista points, but since the cell network was spotty we did things on the fly.

Day 2 - Drive around Mendocino various vista points and Fort Bragg. Missed the Skunk train ride, but make sure you do reservations ahead for this!

Day 3 - Back home via the City of Ten Thousand Buddha, US 101, SF. The wineries in Anderson valley can be a quick stop or anything around Petaluma, Sonoma or Napa.

Unlike many, we didn't do a B&B in Menodcino, but rather stayed using AirBnB at a farm house close to the Mendocino downtown. Needless to say it was the highlight of our vacation!

The EY Outing - Napa & Sonoma

For a very long time a couple of EY folks have been planning for a one day outing in the bay area and we did it last weekend!!! Choose our very own fav - Napa & Sonoma! The day & the weather was perfect and hanging out with an easy going people made it even more relaxing ... here are some of the clicks from that day!

Winery 1 - Artesa (More Popular for its ahead of time winery infrastructure and modern architecture)
Lunch - Taste of Himalayas (Sonoma)
Dessert - Sweet Scoops Home made Ice Cream
Winery 2 - Domaine Carneros (Perfect for a great view, multiple options for wine tasting and cheese paring)
