It’s hard to believe that Ronn is a native Californian and there are many gorgeous places he has yet to visit. We wanted to find a free weekend to visit Creason who is away at college and both of us have never been to Santa Cruz. Creason has been telling us how gorgeous it is for months now, and Ronn loves a colder climate, so we thought this would be the perfect time of the year to make our journey to Santa Cruz.
It’s a journey being in a car for five hours with even with the best of mates, this can sometimes be challenging. How many of you can relate to what I’m trying to say here? You’re giving out directions to a place you both have never been and he passes up an exit and thinks you don’t know what the hell you are talking about? Get my drift? So since I’ve been with my amazingly adorable husband for nearly a decade, I can safely attest being with him in a car for five hours under these circumstances is not always fun for me and I sometime want to scream from frustration!
So we decided to break our trip up and make it fun. As you know by now, we love red wines and wine tasting in Paso Robles sounded great since we would of course be passing through on our journey to Santa Cruz. Plus it broke the trip in half, so I found the cutest bed and breakfast that overlooks a small, but picturesque vineyard called, “Honey Oak House at Laraneta Vineyards in Templeton, just outside of Paso Robles.
The owners are Joe and Melinda who started their winery and flavored olive oil on their 20 acre vineyard. You feel like you are staying over at your best friend’s house for the night. We had a lovely wine tasting of their superb wines and shared a bottle of Cabernet with Bob and Marsha who were traveling from San Francisco. Turns out Bob was from Louisiana with family from guess where? Finland!
So after a few laughs about some of our coincidental stories and a bottle of wine watching the sunset, we were ready to settle in for the evening. Tomorrow we will be in Santa Cruz with only a couple more hours in the car, hopefully with no directional issues. I told Ronn maybe I should drive and he could navigate, but he didn’t seem to like that idea very much, hmm I wonder why?

GPS baby Question “I am.” is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language.
Could it be that “I Do.” is the longest sentence?
Hi Ronn and Devin, enjoy yr trip in Santa Cruz and yr visit with Creason as well. Have wonderful time. (((bighug))) Loveu
Wow beautiful
I love your story Devin! You have a wonderful sense of humour! Thank you for sharing. I wanted to ask you – are these Orbs in your first picture above? If they are, you were in fantastic celestial company! God bless you and Ronn! xxx xxx xxx
Ronn says they follow us everywhere? I think he put them in there just to confuse us.
Thank you Devin! Ronn may very well have put some of them there on purpose, but if the Orbs follow you everywhere, then you are both blessed. It is a wonderful thing to share a photograph with Orbs. The angelic realm is following you both, guiding you and protecting you. I guess it doesn’t hurt either to just add a few in on purpose! LOL!! Have a magical time! xxx xxx xxx
