Napa Valley Trip 2011

 The group (l to r) Linsey Yokley, Maria Meis, Laura Rodriguez, Pam Pilakowski, Kalee Battey, Diana Friesen, and I in front of a San Fransisco trolley.  They were not working (closed for repairs) so kinda disappointed.
 The girls in front of the San Fransisco Bay.
 Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco.  Lots of fresh fish and crab - ate my first crab cakes here.  Lots to see. The steep roads were cool!
 Maria and I by the Golden Gate Bridge.
 Golden Gate Bridge - very neat!  Notice the coat - chilly weather - 60's.
 Diana, Maria, and I in our limo that escorted us to all sorts of wineries in Napa Valley.
 Laura, Me, Diana, Maria, and Kalee (class of '98) photo at our first winery - Trefrethen.
 The girls at V. Sattui winery.  Third visit of the day.  At each winery you got 4-5 tastings. This winery was very popular.  We ate lunch here in their wine cellar - very good. I had a margarita sandwich.  Cheers!
 Next stop was a castle winery - forget the name.  We didn't have enough time to go through so we took some pictures.
 Grape field.
 Rolling hills of grapes - so pretty!
 The group of girls in front of Cline Wineries grape fields.
 Me in front of grape vines.
 Muir woods outside of San Fransisco - big redwoods.  This place was so peaceful and beautiful.  I was on the lookout for bigfoot! Just kidding!


 There's me clear down at the bottom!
 I was able to fit inside the big redwood tree.  These tree are very big - over 200 ft, but the really big trees are located in Yosimite National Park.  There they are over 300 ft tall.
We had a wonderful time.  The weather could have been better - cool and rainy.  Oh well.  Where we going next girls? :)
