First we met up in Pleasant Hill for some tasty Greek food at Daphne's. Then we headed up to the house. The house and surrounding orchards are beautifully preserved and I felt like we were stepping back in time. However, the surrounding city creates something of a jarring backdrop to the pastoral beauty of the land. Nevertheless, it was lovely (I carefully avoided the jarring angles in my pictures to preserve the fantasy).
It was something of a confused day - at one point it was simultaneously sunny and raining big fat drops on our heads as we explored the grounds. But the temperature was warm and the showers were brief, so it didn't cause us much discomfort. And the skies were lovely.
We did get a little goofy about halfway through and had an impromptu photo shoot along the way. The subject? Awkward (and/or stereotypical) high school portraits - including prom and senior pics. We might look pretty ridiculous, but we had a great time!
Oh...and I pretty much loved this palm tree. I really think I need one of these...
