There's a reason Thomas Cole and Frederic Church and Asher Durand came here to paint. It's quiet and lush and dramatic and really just stunning. As an added bonus, we got to stay with Adrienne and Ray in their hundredandfiftysomeodd-year-old house, which we found delightful. Adrienne would remind me that living in a California suburb means that I don't have to worry about the furnace burning the house down during an ice storm. She has a point. But they have a claw-foot tub and fireflies (fireflies!) and a huge shady crooked front porch. Plus, the kids got to pat alpacas and climb on fire trucks and eat "lamby cheese." It was kind of awesome.
