: Labor Day in Mendocino
: Newf Lover September 08, 2005, 03:08:09 PM
Sarah, Drake and I went on our annual trip to Mendocino with our friends and their Snauzer Mix named Paris.  We have been renting the same house for the last 5 years.  It is a little slice of heaven on Earth.  The following are some pics I took and most are around the house property.  So many photo ops, I was cracking up while taking the one of Drake, Kristi and Paris passed out on the couch.  There are a few from the Blue Ox Beer Festival that is part of the Paul Bunyan Days celebration in Ft. Bragg, the oldest festival on the West Coast.  The one of Drake with the beer was taken by lots of other people as well.  The last one was during some wine tasting on the way home.  Most of the wineries welcomed Drake which was really nice, but not a surprise.  Who could say no to a Newf?!!  He got molested by lots of buzzed wine "tasters".  We can't wait until next year!!! ;D

Makes me homesick for the coast.  I have family in Elk and Willits.  It's like being home.

I love the beer one.  You should send it to the maker on the glass (can't make out what it says, 40 year old eyes.)

That's the free "tasting" glass you get with the $20 admission fee you pay to get into  the beer festival.  It's misleading, you think "god, I could drink a bunch of these".  Well after 20 "tasting" glasses of beer from some of Nor Cal's finest breweries, you are feeling no pain.  It's great, all of the proceeds from the beer fest goes to a local Ft. Bragg Senior Center.

Thanks guys, I try to stick my head in every once in a while.  I know Drake would love to see Bear again too.  We gotta do that Napa Wine tasting trip we have talked about soon, while the good weather lasts.  I just remembered that I haven't posted the Carmel Soccer match yet on BPO.  :-\  What is that sevice people have been using on here to post videos?
