it is going to be scorching hot for your stay if you venture down Los Angeles or south of that. Heat advisory from the coast all the way to the deserts in the 7 day forecast.  Cali is a beautiful state enjoy 🙂....I really hope it will be cooled down the for game

 

LOTS of choices of what to do here that is for sure.

Dude with a Rams hat eating wings with fork and knife.

 

 

 

I don't know man.  I love my wings but hate the orange fingers after.  I have to find a restroom ASAP to hose my hands off.   It's gross.

You don't carry wetnaps in your man-purse?

Carmel is one of the most beautiful places on earth. We were out to wine country a couple months ago and spent time in Healdsburg at the recommendation of locals (wife’s co-workers). Another fabulous spot! Highly recommend it!

WTF. That's worse than those people who eat pizza with a fork and a knife.


Indeed. Took it as a great sign.

We stayed at the Ritz at Half Moon Bay while the wife worked, then a couple more days there. When we got to Healdsburg I was wishing we had moved up sooner! It was super charming and it seemed every other door on the square was a great restaurant or tasting room. Did a wine tasting at Lambert Bridge winery just a few minutes outside of town. Had a couple cases sent home. Cheers!   :)

I lived in Northern California for 13 years. My favorite spots in Wine Country is Calistoga, and Sonoma. Calistoga is a really small town but built on hot springs. Go to one of the hotels in town and soak in a hot spring pool/tub. (The hot tubs fit like 30 people). In Sonoma, lots of local shops, tasting rooms, restaurants, and the home to the Northern most Spanish Mission in California.

Well you’re not a Bills fan so this doesn’t surprise me one bit.

We finished our trip years ago in Calistoga. Lovely! Home of Joe Montana I believe. We did the hot mud bath thing. Lordy! You get mud in every nook and cranny of your body! Once was enough.

 

I still remember my last meal of that trip. We had been eating and drinking our way around that part of the state for an extended trip. We would often fill up on wine and amazing breads before the meal came out (I’m not generally a big bread guy, but WOW!). It was hysterical seeing couples come in 20- 30 minutes behind us and do the same thing! This was decades ago and I still remember those Kansas City style ribs being placed in front of me on the last night….and I wanted to throw up. I might have had one bite. Time to go home! 

 

Did you ever go to Healdsburg? It’s nicer now than Calistoga or Sonoma were then. By far. Nothing is cheap out there, but the hotel on the square might have been the most expensive nights we’ve ever personally paid for in a hotel room. Well worth it! I’d go back tomorrow.
