The Cabin in the Woods

I know I said that this blog would be about me... I didn't mean for it to be about food. But, food really is sitting in the driver seat of this trip. We visit locations based on what food they have to offer. And in America, you can't get a very far distance without having a unique food experience.

Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge
After spending the day in San Francicsco on Friday, we took the convertible up north - straight through the Golden Gate Bridge...



We continued along the road, through Muir Woods, and along the Pacific Ocean, passing lakes and rivers and crossing towns and homes. Eventually we made it to Vallejo rd, number 130, Inverness. We drove over the bridge on top of a small stream and up a steep hill towards the parking spot. Surrounded by flowers and trees, we stepped into our weekend cabin.

Our Hard Working Kitchen

Its been a long time since I've seen Cheese on a Burger!
On Out first day here we had a cheeseburger bacon dinner. The next day we wanted to explore the area. We got in the cars and drove 5 minutes North. The sunny skies, pleasant breeze and warm air has all been replaced by mist, strong winds and cold chills. The Micro-Climates in Northern California gives you the opportunity to visit different weathers in moments. At Abbot's Lagoon, I felt as if we were in mid winter in Canada as oppose to our cabin's hotter climate. You could barely see into the distance from the mist and our tee-shirt and bathing suit attire seemed out of place. With two cold babies, we go right back into the cars and off to the town nearby.

BBQ Oysters
Although our plans have derailed, we found our path. We passed by a small town and had to visit the road-side BBQ (Ribs and Oysters). We stopped at the OPEN WINERY sign and sat back as Noa tasted wines and selected our dinner's drink. We joined locals at a Picnic area where we were able to buy 2 dozen Oysters. And we stopped at a butcher and bought our new meal.







The night was smothered in food. Truly an all night experience and probably one of the better meals I've had...


Spicy Italian Sausage, Flank Steak, Skirt Steak, and, why not, a Rack of ribs!
The Chef prepares his meat!






Thanks Yaniv and Katrina for showing us Inverness!
