ever wonder where the guy who played davy crockett and daniel boone ended up? ever wonder where the actual location of hidden valley, of hidden valley ranch dressing fame, is? ever wonder where the first motel 6 and first egg mcmuffin are from?we discovered the answer to all these questions this weekend, as we traveled south in search of wine. joined by chris and olivia, we traveled four hours south to the american riviera to soak up the sunshine and wine offerings of santa barbara. (the answer to those questions is, in fact, santa barbara).
in addition to the many vineyards and wineries in the surrounding mountains, santa barbara is home to an urban walking wine trail, on which you can visit more wineries than any one adult really ought to in one day. we toured and tasted all day saturday in the warm santa barbara sunshine.
marta and olivia peek from behind a wine barrel.
coon skin caps are more the rule than the exception at fess parker winery in the santa maria valley outside of santa barbara. fess parker runs this joint, but he never got over his television roles as davy crockett and daniel boone.
in case you're wondering if all we did in 3 days was taste wine, you'll be comforted to know that we also went to a brewery.

Now you know why I went to college in Santa Barbara! Thanks for the trip down memory road, although admittedly my memories are mostly of keg parties in Isla Vista. :-)
