While the boys flew to Seattle for a weekend with their Auntie Shell (their first time flying solo!), David and I went up the hill a bit and spent the weekend in Nevada City!
We stayed in a terrific property called the Two Room Inn. It is located right on the main street of town and across from the Broad Street Bistro, the place where we picked up our coffee and breakfast every morning. This is where I first tasted a soy lavender latte. Yum!
Our place had multiple outdoor seating areas; this is the view from the front porch. There was also an upstairs balcony off the master bedroom, and a backyard patio.
Dinner our first night was at Sopa Thai. They have a lovely back patio, with a water feature and lights. It made for a nice escape from the outside world.
David had to work through the weekend, but he was able to set himself up in the living room, with the doors and windows open. It created a lovely cross draft of warm/cool Autumn air. I spent the day walking throughout the town’s boutiques and shops.
For dinner our second night, we walked about a mile and a half to California Organics Market and Cafe. We sat out on the patio and enjoyed our dinner, then walked back to our place.
Another place we ate at is called Heartwood. I think if I were to have a restaurant, I’d want to do something like this. Simple, easy to prep food and beverage in a casual, comfortable environment.
On our last day, the town had a parade down their main (Broad) street. We watched it from the master bedroom balcony. It a terrific way to end our time away. The parade honored the constitution day of this historic gold rush town.
The boys were able to watch the Seahawks game at friend’s house before flying home early the next morning…
