Family.............it's what it's all about!!

So family came to visit.  Had an absolutely wonderful time.  Of course there was food involved.  There always is food discussion and enjoying  when we get together.  More about that later.

We did a bit of wine tasting.  We are in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley of some pretty spectacular grapes.  More about that later.

We did a bit of sightseeing.  The La Purisama Mission is just a short drive down the road from us.  Family enjoys history and some photo taking  so it was a perfect morning venue.
