Chapter Three...Daytrippin'

We've really enjoyed being able to spend a lot of time with Robyn and Mel this trip. I'm happy that I've been able to get to know them better and better. Love you guys!

Robyn is a great cook...though she describes it as assembling food rather than cooking, lol. We've had dinner at their house a number of times and I can't say how much we appreciate all the "assembling" Robyn's done for us...Mel too.

Besides dinners and restaurants and football days, we've done a couple of fun day trips together.

We took a drive one day into Napa...stopping first at Tulocay Cemetery to visit Jack's Mom's and brother Robin's resting place. Then we drove up to Lake Berryessa to see the Glory Hole...a new one for me. Didn't get much of a look though due to road construction but the lake was low. The mountain roads got to both Jack and me a bit...up and down, twisting and turning...it felt good to stand on solid ground after a while!

Robyn and Mel got a small RV for some weekend trips. It's a nicely decked out Rockwood...has a Murphy bed to maximize floor space, something I've never seen before. It's very cool, though I forgot to take any photos! Anyway, we visited some parks on our drive so they could scout out camping spots.
Met this guy in one of the parks --->>> 

We had a good day and finished up sitting by the bay in Suisun City eating Greek food at the Athenian Grill.

The Tides Wharf at Bodega Bay

A few weeks later we repeated a trip we took in 2014 to Bodega Bay. The place for cinnamon rolls was closed this time, but we did stop in the cute little town of Cotati to see Robyn's cousin Fran at The Sandalady  Baseball Glove Repair to pick up Mel's glove. Did some antiquing after that, then a late lunch at The Tides Wharf in Bodega Bay and finally a visit to the ocean.

I love the ocean and the Pacific breaking over the rocks is beautiful!

 

We had a great day...even the weather was perfect!
