Lazy Los Gatos Saturday

What started out as a very lazy, unmotivated day turned out to be one of the best afternoons we've had since we moved! This morning was a slow start. We knew we needed to get some more time in driving the beats Mark still had to learn. I would describe the freeways and expressways in San Jose like this tangled mess:

I have actually enjoyed driving the beats with Mark because it is giving me the opportunity to learn our new area. It is like a crash course in San Jose geography. Having said that, driving the mess of freeways is just not my idea of a fun Saturday afternoon. So after much prodding, we decided to drive the beats in the Los Gatos & Saratoga areas (inside the yellow circle):

Let me just say that my dream used to be for Mark to transfer to Napa and us to live in St. Helena. Now, I certainly hope he likes the San Jose area because my new dream town is Los Gatos. There are seriously cute historic homes.

And the most adorable downtown shopping area.

We of course needed to stop for some coffee, and Great Bear Coffee was just the ticket.

After walking downtown Los Gatos (unfortunately NOT apart of Mark's beat), we set off on some mountain roads, coffee in hand.

Up near the summit we hit some serious fog!

And saw gorgeous views of the mountains (Yes, the is a part of a beat!)

We went a little off track and found some deer.

These roads were certainly not for those with soft stomachs. I was a little dizzy when it was over! Nonetheless, it was a perfect Saturday and even ended up being a little productive! I hope your Saturday was beautiful too.
