Russian River

Miss B and I went to the Russian River this weekend for a little get away and hang out in the rain. It poured and poured and poured. Made for good sleeping and just laying around the cabin in the woods. It was a rather strange place, very small, certainly can't have more than 2 people there at a time but right on the river. For a minute I thought we were going to float away as with the big rain dump, my mind turned to flooding. But of course it was fine and we made it out alive.

We did catch a few wineries which was fun. Hartford (amazing Zinfandel!), Paradise Ridge, LaCrema, and Marimar. We weren't planning on going wine tasting but ended up doing so and it was the first time since our sabbatical summer. Very fun and super tasty wine! We also went to a place for dinner on Saturday night called Boon. It was okay but not super fantastic as I had hoped. Rather middle of the road but good for the Russian River area. The picture above was taken at Buena Vista where the founder of the winery actually lived in my little home town before he figured out that growing grapes didn't work very well in the Midwest. Go figure! We are wine club members there and that was our last stop.

Last but not least, we watched the Giants beat Philadelphia for the NLCS and they are on their way to the World Series. I can't wait! Starts Wednesday. You should see how excited Miss B is!!! GO GIANTS!!!!!!
