I told Sue I needed more space\u2026 She locked me outside! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s going to be a beautiful day!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The day began with a large dose of June Gloom. We did not see the sun until 11:00 AM when we entered San Juan Capistrano…going inland a mile made all the difference in the world! But I digress…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk in the garden is always a wonderful way to start the day but alas, the pumpkin who ate Detroit is taking over the apple and nectarine trees and laying all over the variegated fig! It needs a trim real bad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk is over, the hot shower is done, and the Silver Ghost is ready for the 45 minute run down the 405! Gitty-Up Go! GPS has been loaded, the button pushed and we are off and running!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip was about 45 minutes making it about half-way between Pete & Lisa’s place and ours. We got to the restaurant first and I ordered a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay…they had a good price in the 2016 vintage. Pete and Lisa showed up soon thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did You Know? Sundried Tomato is a gem of a bistro located in the historic area of Downtown San Juan Capistrano. Opened in 2003, it is partially nestled into the vintage Valenzuela Adobe dating from the 1800s, and thus embraces a beautiful, early Spanish exterior.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Situated halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, and only a few blocks from the I-5 Freeway and Amtrak Station, Sundried Tomato is a convenient place to meet for lunch, dinner or a relaxing weekend brunch while visiting the area. It is  walking distance from the historic San Juan Capistrano Mission, upscale Regency Theater, numerous interesting shops and an antique mall, and the laid back, shade-filled Los Rios District.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

We jabbered and talked and laughed and giggled from 11:30 AM until 1:30 PM. Great visit! Great fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talked about everything and everyone. They are going to stay with us over July 4th since they are coming to Old Ranch for the celebration! More time to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
