Father's Day Surprise

It's tough to get one by the Old Goat...it does occasionally happen.  DW says let's go to Murphys. Pick up some provisions and lunch at a favorite feeding spot.  So I agree to the plan, not knowing I'm being set up--Surprise Father's Day lunch with DD, BF, Arden the dog, and of course DW.
Murphys, CA

Main Intersection in Murphys, CA
Alchemy Wine Bar & Cafe
Looking for a little exercise after a fabulous lunch, we wandered north on Main Street.

After a walk to the park and a few photo ops, we meandered back to our transports and bade farewell.  
WELL DONE MEL!!!
