One of my WA state BFFs joined us for the weekend!<\/p>\n

She flew in Friday night and I took her to visit her great aunt and uncle. \u00a0They live about 20 minutes from me. \u00a0After a good night sleep, we had a leisurely morning around the house, then drove up to Apple Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

First stop…wait for it….High Hill Ranch.<\/a>\u00a0 They make these delicious apple cider doughnuts. \u00a0I also bought kettle corn, caramel apples, caramallows, and a Christmas gift from one of the craft vendors.

\"\"<\/p>\n

Me and Heidi!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Next stop, El Dorado Orchards<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had not been here before and was very disappointed. \u00a0Their website makes the place look charming, with craft vendors, BBQ, a train ride, etc. \u00a0They had nothing<\/strong> but the train open. We went midday on a Saturday! \u00a0 The train was $3.50 per person and it was a little track that went around a pond. \u00a0The boys wanted to go, so I decided to let them and Heidi and I would wait. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0They required an adult to go with the kids AND the adult had to pay as well. \u00a0GRRRR. \u00a0But, I decided to have us go because the boys were being so good tagging along with us girls. \u00a0So, I shelled out $10.50 for a ride where it took longer for us to wait for everyone to board than the ride itself. \u00a0Oh well, you live and learn…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a vineyard next to the orchards. \u00a0We walked through them a little and ate some of the grapes!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the many Christmas Tree farms in the area…
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Waiting for lunch at Abel’s Acres…<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last stop: Boeger Winery<\/a>. \u00a0I love their Barbera.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Went to BJ’s that night for dinner. \u00a0BJ’s Brewhouse<\/a>\u00a0is a chain restaurant that has a menu the size of a book. \u00a0I was trying to find gluten free options, but it would take forever to get through the menu. \u00a0I asked the server if they had a gluten free menu and they did! \u00a0I ordered a steak salad. \u00a0Yum!<\/p>\n

Heidi and I stayed up and watched the movie, ‘You Again’, \u00a0with Kristen Bell and Jamie Lee Curtis, and a bunch of other great ladies. \u00a0Cute chick flick.<\/p>\n

Sunday, we attended church. \u00a0David was coincidentally playing ‘big church’ , and it was neat to have Heidi watch him play.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After church, I passed the boys on to David and Heidi and I spent the afternoon in Old Sacramento.
\nHere we are messing around in one of the stores…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the drive to the airport to send Heidi home, God blessed us with the largest rainbow I have ever seen!
