WOW Donna congratulations for 41 years of true love. That is just great. I hope you find a great place where you can really celebrate each other. Ojai sounds interesting. If you go, post some pics and your opinion.

imapigeon, lots of the restaurant workers in Marshall live in Petaluma so it must be a short cross over from there to the coast. We come over thru San Anselmo on (the place Michelle mentioned) and come out in Olema where the Olema Inn (the place Michelle mentioned http://www.theolemainn.com/deecontact.html) right on Sir Francis Drake Blvd is and the Olema Farmhouse is http://www.olemafarmhouse.com/ is on the other side of the road. Both have oysters. I think most places have oysters since oyster farming is so big in the area. There is also Tomales Bay Oysters which is a bit south of Hog Island. Next time we might try there. http://www.tomalesbayoysters.com/

We had a GREAT Saturday. First we went to the Farmer's Market in point Reyes. It was very small but fun. I bought 2 jars of just shucked oysters from the stand Drake Oyster Farm had at the Farmer's Market at Toby's. Drakes Bay Oysters is on the other side of Tomales Bay off Drakes Bay. I really want to go visit on that side too. We had them last night and they were fantastic. Fried oysters!

As I walked around Point Reyes Station I thought I would love to live here. It was such a beautiful day and the sun was shining and the people were happy and the tomatoes were so ripe.
