We explored more of the Santa Ynez Valley by going to Los Olivos. It is a quaint, small village with over 20 tasting rooms from various wineries in the area. There were also some art galleries, small cafe's, miscellaneous shops and two olive oil tasting rooms. We tried one of the olive oil tasting and found the oils to have levels of green, earthy tastes with hints of pepper. We also tasted Balsamic vinegars and found one with hints of fig to our liking. We liked the wines from Alexander & Wayne which is Fess Parker's son's winery and purchased a couple more bottles. Don't know where we will store them unless we finish off a couple of wines we brought from home. The picture is Solvang which we drove through on our way to Los Olivos.
The weather today was much warmer than it has been the last few days -- 66° but that was only when the sun was shining thru the clouds. We had an enjoyable walk along the beach late afternoon then John showed off his woodsman skills by building a nice fire.

Dad still knows how to build a fire?!?! I'm amazed!
I've been enjoying getting caught up with you both while reading about your adventures. I passed on your blog to John and Suzanne because they wanted to see what you were up to. The pictures from the Rose Parade are gorgeous,that is on our Bucket List of things to do.
Love seeing John's little picture on the map about where you are now!
