Feb. 21, 2015- Point Reyes and Sonoma

Today started with breakfast at Crepevine. It was a beautiful morning to sit outside and plan the rest of our day. 

Jon needed to go in to his lab to check on some results, so UCSF Mission Bay was our first stop after breakfast. 

 While Jon went in to work in the lab, Mike and I found a spot in the sun and enjoyed sitting and soaking up the sun. It was super relaxing to be outside and warm. 

Our next destination was Point Reyes, a national seaside park. It was an hour and a half away and very remote and isolated. We drove through ranch land and rocky hills on the way there. Upon arrival, fog and clouds moved in so our views were limited. 

 

So we were off to Sonoma to check out some wineries. We visited Jacuzzi and Cline. We tasted at both. Then bought two bottles for Jon at Cline. 

 

Here we are outside at Jacuzzi.  

 

Conveniently located across the street was the Cline vineyard. Jon was quite familiar with this place as he had visited here on his Berkeley visit. We had a great time here tasting and then drinking wine while wondering around on the grounds. 

I even spotted an owl in a tree...Mike thinks I just had too much wine, but Jon saw it move too, and agreed with me that it was definitely an owl. 

Back to Berkeley and dinner at Fenton's in Oakland. Of course, it was really about the ice cream, not dinner. 

We shared two sundaes.  They were delicious!

 This one had coffee ice cream and double chocolate chip with hot fudge. 

This one had banana nut ice cream, peanut butter chocolate crunch ice cream, hot fudge, and almonds.

Here we are. We sat at the counter.
