Motorcycle Rides with my Husband Raises My FUNtelligence Quotient!

Living in Northern California is amazing!  There is so much beauty right outside our door.  It feels like my backyard playground.  My husband and I love our Yamaha Stratoliner Cruiser!  He drives as I ride on the back and soak in all the beauty.  From the wine country to the coast, we love taking day trips to nearby towns, cafes, beaches, wineries, shops, parks and more!  I often pack a picnic and we find FUN tables, benches or grassy areas to eat. 

One of our favorite local overnight trips is to The Lodge at Blue Lakes right outside of Ukiah.  The lodge is on a pristine spring fed lake.  They have kayaks available, fishing off the pier, outdoor barbeques, evening boat rides, beautifully renovated rooms with jacuzzis and more.  It is a peaceful getaway with lots of FUN things to do.  And in the nearby town of Upper Lake (a one horse town) is the Blue Wing Saloon & Cafe, a great restaurant for outside dining, Sunday brunch and local music.  I love thier sweet potato fries!

Having the motorcycle has cut down on our "leaving on vacation time" because we love staying in the area and exploring all the beauty and FUN that is all around us (and my husband doesn't like leaving our cat very long!)  When it stays light until 9pm sometimes we take evening rides.  We love riding to a body of water on a full moon night and seeing the moon reflect brightly on the water with the San Francisco Skyline lit up in the distance.

We often take the same rides over and over and marvel in the continuing and expanding beauty.   And no, I do not have any desire to drive my own bike! I love the feeling as he has control of this amazing machine and I get to relax and drink in all the beauty.  I also love all the leather and fringe I get to wear.  You might note in this picture all the different color fringe boots I wear! So FUN!

It is an exhilarating experience that we can share together!  Yes, motorcycle rides with my husband truly raises my FUNtelligence Quotient!
