Stop at Lazy Acres for house supplies
Airbnb in the Mesa
1440 Santa Rosa Ave
Check in at 1:30
4 mile walk along the ocean to the Wharf and back
Snacks by the fire pit and pool
Day 2:

9AM yoga session for two of the girls
9:30 Local hat retail visit, grape sorting and foot stomping at Samsara wine for me. https://www.samsarawine.com . Another bucket list item checked off the list. Hanging with the wine maker for a tamale after our hard work paired with the Radian vineyard Chardonnay was delicious. I will be writing a full article on this experience separately.
Head to the Funk Zone to shop
3:30 pm reservation wine tasting at Fess Parker ( I am a member, so we get a free tasting for four)
5:00 pm reservation for dinner at Lark ( I have the chef’s Aunt and Uncle’s home listed in St Augustine Florida currently. What are the odds?) This was our favorite dinner of the trip.
Day 3:

Self guided. Bring towel and water.
This made for a beautiful ride up the coast and the hike was challenging, but I don’t believe we ever found the actual hot springs. Apparently they aren’t easy to find and you need to bring a local with you that knows the secret.
Stop at Lazy acres to pick up some soup for lunch
Wine in the hot tub was a midday treat

Dinner at 5:30 ( Stick to wine by the bottle or cocktails here. Beautiful garden setting, authentic food, friendly service and the wine by the glass options were limited.)
