The next morning we found a cute little breakfast spot across from our hotel in Hopland. It wasn't really hard to find, it was the only place besides a grocery store and a donut shop in the little town of 700 people. The food was great, and the brought us a bread basket full of pastries to start the meal.
While the mountain biking was a bust, we were still able to do some pretty amazing exploring in Mendocino County the morning before the wedding. Drove up Cow Mountain which was supposed to have 17 miles of mountain biking trails. All we found were shotgun shells and more shotgun shells. But we did get a great view of the valley below.
The wedding was held at Jerico Estate which is a "tread gently upon the Earth" vineyard with beautiful Mediterranean-style architecture and 180 acres of vineyards. It was a beautiful setting for the wedding.
The wedding had a very heavy ski theme, was really well done!
Great dinner, dancing and drinks, had a fantastic evening.
Even though we took 3 days to drive to California, we decided to tackle the whole drive back in one day. This time drove South through Napa and Sacramento. The drive through all the vineyards and past all the wineries was beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for better weather for the drive. The highlight of the 14 hour drive home was finding a roadside BBQ stand that had all the meats smoking outside over an open pit.
