Northern California Garden Tour
This past weekend I took a little road trip to Northern California to meet some great folks I met on Twitter. This may sound strange to some of you, but it seemed perfectly normal to me.
Our total trip was from Wednesday night to Monday night; driving time was a little over 11 hours each way. We arrived at Carri’s home in Sacramento Thursday night — just in time for the first tweet-up with Katie and Kristi. It was great chatting face to face. Carri and her family were fantastic hosts and took us to many sites around Northern California during our three day visit.
It all started Friday with two garden tours and a Filoli tweet-up.
We started the day in Laura’s garden and ended it there under the red umbrella – drinking limoncello.

Rebecca’s garden was our second garden tour that morning.

Laura, Rebecca, Carri, and I then met Chuck at Filoli (Fight, Love, Live) gardens.

Saturday morning we hung around Carri’s home and garden. We even got to see the plans for her new front yard!
For lunch we headed to Napa Valley to check out the wineries and do a little vino tasting.

Sunday morning I headed home. We took the long way through San Francisco so we could check out some of the sites.

We stayed Sunday night in Ashland, Oregon and pulled into our driveway Monday afternoon around 5:30 p.m.
It was a great trip – next time we fly.
