Fun at Kelsey See Winery with good friends - the Horaceks and the Sharps!  Just a stop on one of our frequent trips up to the Central Coast! 

Central Coast Winery Visits

Spring break of 2014 found us heading up to one of our favorite spots in California.  We headed up the coast with Ron and Sharon and met up with Brenda and Steve for a few days of visiting and enjoying the great wines of the area.  Thanks to another blogsite, "Scrap our Stash," for the inspiration - designed by Brenda Ragsdale.  I used my Close to My Heart Pathfinding kit and embellishments I know I have had for years!  

Life is Good

One our favorite wineries is Chamisal in the Edna Valley area, near Arroyo Grande.  It is spring break 2013 and it was time for some more tasty wine!  I just love it when the winery pets are out and about visiting with the guests.  Wait until you see my photos from the Lobsterfest , a little later in this year.  We always enjoy our visits to Chamisal!

Perfect View

This is what I consider a perfect view!  These photos were taken from the balcony of our room in Pismo Beach and yes that seagull was that close!  We thought he wanted to come on in and enjoy a glass of wine! I think I need a magnifying glass, I know that is Ron waving from his balcony and I think that is Brenda Sharp behind him.  Where is Sharon hahah!

Relaxing in Pismo!

Shore Cliff Lodge in Pismo Beach is one of our favorite places to stay when we are in the area!  So relaxing, so pretty and the perfect jumping off spot for winery visits!  Looking forward to our next stay (which will be in the off season lol)

Cheers!

Cheers everyone!  We all deserve to enjoy our lives and to live life to the fullest!  These three guys were doing their best to follow Auntie Mame's words of wisdom......"life's a banquet and most poor souls are starving to death!"  You all need to go wine tasting with this crew!

Day 26 part 2 Santa Cruz

Day 26 and I am continuing with page two of our Santa Cruz Mountain day trip.  We visited the Loma Prieta Winery.  This was such a drive up into the mountains, such a great view of the coast from up here.  Thank goodness that in the background in Roy's picture I could see the name of the winery!  

Santa Cruz Mountains

A hidden jewel of a winery is located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, David Bruce winery!  The boys scored a great deal of wine!  We then continued on to make a few more great discoveries.  It was a most enjoyable day,

On this page, I used the Sarita collection from Close to My Heart.  I love the colors.

Kelsey Winery Fun

It is January 23rd and this is my 23rd entry for the month!  I love the photo ops I find on our little trips!  But, most importantly is that I can get everyone to participate (for the most part)!  This is just an example of some of the things we do!  This is a great little winery up near Avila Beach, lovely grounds and just one of the cutest little winery dog on the property too!

This layout design is from a recent workshop I attended with Embellish It!  I love their kits!

Jenkins and Horacek's on the Go

November 2013 - furlough week and Thanksgiving Holiday!  We made the most of it....headed up to Oxnard for trip to one of our favorite wine cellars - Plan B...I will have to tell you the story of how we found that place and one of our new discoveries - Broken Earth in Paso Robles.  It is so much fun to discover new places for wine.   We all enjoy our trips to the many wineries in California......looking forward to discovering more!

You've Got to Have Friends!

Yes, it is so important to have friends in your life!   I have quite a few kits that I will be using during this yearly challenge!  This was a great layout theme!  FRIENDS!   Here we are enjoying one of our wine adventures this past November.  At Rancho Ventavo we even helped to decorate for the Christmas season!  Another great adventure with Ron and Sharon!!

A Great Day with the Horaceks

We are so lucky to have so many great friends in our life who have become members of our family!  Our treks to the different wine areas in California are always filled with laughter, good food and great wine!    This is the second page of yesterday's layout and I am always grateful for all the times we spend with loved ones!  Our next adventures are just around the corner!!!

Roy and Diane - Wine Trip

To celebrate our 35th anniversary, we took a trip to visit some of our favorite wineries in Edna Valley, Oxnard and Paso Robles this past November.   Ron and Sharon were there to make the celebration even more fun!  We do love our trips to visit the beautiful wineries in California.  These photos were taken at Steinbeck, Chamisal and Castoro Cellars -
