What's the plural for Prius? Prii?

Yay for Friday!  Mark got off work a little early, so we decided to go to Santa Cruz for dinner.  On the drive out, we found a winery in Los Gatos that was open until 6, so we decided to stop in and do a little wine tasting.  As it turns out, this winery is owned by Peggy Flemming (the skater) and her husband - and my favorite wine we tried came from John Madden's grapes.  Weird! 

Los Gatos is actually where ONR started - it was a cute town and hopefully I can go back and poke around the shops sometime.  Maybe I'll run into some ONR people, too! 

Driving on to Santa Cruz, it was very scenic - lots of trees and hills.  I had done some research and found what I thought was a great restaurant on the beach with reasonably priced food.  When we got there, it was about 7:00 on a Friday night...and we were the only ones there.  We ended up splitting food because it was a little pricey ($15 per person) but it was plenty.  It was pretty good, great view, etc. except it was weird that we were the only ones there.    Then we walked to the light house at the end of the pier.  It was FREEZING!!  I had a sweater and a jacket on, and I was still cold!  The highlight of the walk, though, had to be the seals and/or sea lions in the pier!  It was pretty cool. 

This lighthouse was pretty, but we got up close and saw that it was built in 2001 - so not exactly old/cool like it seemed. 

That's pretty much it for Friday.  Looking forward to a fun weekend!
