So we've made it as far as North Carolina on our journey home. We were too tired after the red-eye flight from San Francisco to RDU to make the drive to Knoxville today.
To give an update on the rest of our trip, James and I had a lovely time exploring the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County on Wednesday on our way to Sonoma. That day we saw Lands End, Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, Muir Woods, and the San Andreas Fault zone of Olema Valley. We stayed two nights in Sonoma and enjoyed visiting a few wineries in the Sonoma Valley with complimentary tastings from our inn. Sonoma is very charming and the valley is very beautiful and rural dotted with vineyards. We drove through Napa valley on our way to Berkeley and bummed around in Berkeley for a while on Saturday then decided to drive south down the coast before we had to be at the airport that night.
We had a great time and loved every part of the Bay Area that we got to see. We are so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to make this trip (thanks to ORNL!) and to the Hemricks for taking such good care of Kate and Owen while we were gone. We had a great time but really started missing the kids after a few days. It helped to know they were having a great time with their grandparents and getting to visit with GG and their cousins. Now if we can all make it through the re-programming process...
