Trip to the West Coast

Last month Chris and I had the opportunity to fly out to the west coast.  Technically, we went for "work" (Church planter's boot camp) but we fit in lots of fun too!  I met a couple new great girlfriends and we now have a list of friends to visit in California.

A few things that stuck out in my mind.....

• Seagulls in San Francisco are way bigger than the ones close to home.
• I love the sound of the wind blowing through palm trees.
• The Golden Gate Bridge is pretty impressive but you really have to see it in person to appreciate it.
• Mediterranean flavored cheese tastes really good.
• I have no desire to live in a big hustling/bustling city.
• People in small town visitors centers know their stuff.
• If In-N-Out Burgers made it's way to the east coast they'd have our business.
• I don't like flying.  I get dizzy and light-headed at every take off and land.  
• Vineyards and wineries are beautiful.
• White wine is still my favorite....I just can't make red work for me.
• Grapes right off of a vine are so much better than from the store shelves.
• Give me the East Coast beaches any day.
