For our one year anniversary we went out East, to Gold Country, the foothills of the Sierras, to Pioneer. Still don't know where I'm talking about? Me either. On our way there we stopped for dinner in Lodi, and had pretty good mexican food thanks to yelp.
We got there at night, so when we woke up we didnt know what to expect, and it was beautiful forest all around us.
We went in to Sutter's Creek for breakfast, and wandered around a few of the little towns.
We went wine tasting at beautiful wineries
Where's Waldo?
That evening we took a picnic and wine to an outdoor ampitheater and saw the community theater's play, Servant of Two Masters.
The next day...
We had delicious sandwiches in Amador City
then walked across the street to the Gold Rush Museum and saw pictures and read stories about how people traveled here and how they lived back before California was a state...
the best was the Rules for Teachers from 1915
Close up... my favorite is "You may not loiter downtown in ice cream stores"
For our special night, we had a fabulous dinner at Taste in Plymouth - buratta, mushroom cigars, filet mignon with mushrooms, rack of lamb, and a trio of chocolaty desserts... all with a yummy bottle of Primitivo
then danced a lil in a gazebo across the street
For breakfast our last morning we had tomato toast and coffee out on the deck. perfect.
It was so beautiful out there, it was hard to leave...
