It is about a six hour drive up highway 101 with a stop for In-n-Out in Santa Maria.  The weather was perfect.  We love the golden hills with the oaks on them.  In fact Nurit realized that we didn&#8217;t have a painting of them and so we had a theme for our trip.  We looked at about twenty galleries for a picture that captured our vision of rolling hills with oaks.  We didn&#8217;t quite find it but we had a wonderful time searching.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/simonburrow.com\/\/photos\/photo\/2728698082\/P8020069JPG.html\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3032\/2728698082_e137343198_m.jpg?resize=240%2C180\" alt=\"P8020069.JPG\" border=\"0\" height=\"180\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Golden hills  <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/simonburrow.com\/\/photos\/photo\/2728697960\/P8020067JPG.html\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3293\/2728697960_0a33bc2bac_m.jpg?resize=240%2C180\" alt=\"P8020067.JPG\" border=\"0\" height=\"180\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>with oaks  <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/simonburrow.com\/\/photos\/photo\/2727867997\/15807JPG.html\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3128\/2727867997_b7ff742e7e_m.jpg?resize=240%2C181\" alt=\"15807.JPG\" border=\"0\" height=\"181\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>one of the closest paintings<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I&#8217;m going to do another post about the festival and build an album on flickr of the trip photos.\u00a0 Life is good.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking of birthday gifts.
