AirBnB, a great way to travel

As you can see from my previous entry, we are back at the beck-and-call of Gavin; school breaks are way too short, and I think teachers need more vacation time.





















Patricia and I had a great time visiting with Mom, Barbara, George and Jessica's family in Fallon Nevada.  Leaving there, we went on to Grass Valley to visit Patricia's cousin Cathy all too briefly and then over to the Pacific Coast to drive down Hwy 101 and parts of Hwy 1.
We stayed at several AirBnBs (airbnb.com), the first one in Templeton, which calls itself the Dancing Deer Farm. It's a great place to stay and is especially set up to accommodate retreats and seminars.















We stayed for two nights and then went on to Santa Ynez and rested for the night at Becky and Dana's place. The property was just behind Mom and Dad's old place where they had lived for 25 years. Becky has two horses, some chickens and two cats.

















We left Santa Ynez and took a leisurely and short drive to Ojai where we boarded with Suzanne and her two-year old daughter Savanna. We particularly liked what Suzanne had done with her front yard. Being very sustainability minded, she took out her lawn and planted her garden.  That leaves the back yard totally free for Savanna to play and saves on water.















Now we are back in Vista, CA where we have stayed now and then for the last few months.















As you can see, we are having the time of our lives, and yes, we do like to stay in nice places.

    We look forward to our first stays with them, later this summer.
