$4.55/gallon, but we still love road trips!


Well Wednesday definitely was a "road trip" kind of day. After finding out the rental car company charged my card $200 extra (We fixed it), we started our day with a nutritious breakfast of oreos, lime tostitos & guacamole since we forget to buy eggs & bread on Tuesday night. After getting ready we headed out (drum roll please) to my favorite place, TARGET!!! We both needed some sunglasses & new hats.
We then ventured to check out the Golden Gate Bridge, which is quite a sight to be seen. They paint that damn bridge every week using 1000 gallons of paint. I met a doggy there too, made me miss my Layla girl.
After that we headed to wine country, Sonoma. We hit up Viansa & had some lunch. It was beautiful. Matt made a video of a vulture, I will spare you from the boredom & not post it :)
After lunch, we decided to check out Point Reyes National Beach, only to be disappointed that the light house was an additional 20 miles, after already driving for an hour. We decided to skip it & head to Route 1 & drive down the coast. We checked out Stinton Beach & stopped at a beautiful spot along the way to check out some sea lions in the water...for some reason, they reminded me a Layla & made me miss her again. Matt thinks I am crazy that a sea lion reminds me of our dog, but I seem to think they have similar heads :)
After tons of driving Matt headed toward a "Surprise" place for something to do at night. It ended up being a drive-in movie theater. It was such a cool surprise! We saw (well he saw bc I fell asleep as normal) Indiana Jones. It really was alot of fun though.

Looks you guys are having so much fun.
Enjoying reading the blog every day - we always get a good laugh, especially when written by Kirsten, she does have a way of putting a spin on things.
And that Matt - doing all these special little things, no one can ever again say he is not a planner.
