Life 101

There is nothing like wine tasting in Napa and an all day trip down the 101 to leave you feeling tired on a Monday. But believe me, it's a good tired. We had such a lovely weekend visiting with Daryll's parents. I must admit that I've been thinking all day about getting home and editing the pictures from Napa to post on the blog and elsewhere. (Even though my time is at a premium this week!) We visited three wineries on Saturday: Beringer, Mumm, and Arcada. We chatted with each other, walked the grounds, and had sufficient time to take in the beautiful green rolling hills that are patiently awaiting next season's bounty.


Saturday night Daryll's parents treated us to a delicious teppanyaki style dinner before we capped off the evening with a toast of sparkling wine.

Sunday we left Fremont around 9am for the long journey ahead of us. We decided to take the scenic 101 route instead of the efficient 5 and were rewarded with a more delightful and stress-free journey. We stopped for a bbq sandwich lunch in San Luis Obispo before continuing to Thousand Oaks, where we briefly visited with my Dad. Our final stop before home was in Burbank for a quick and tasty dinner with Amy and Conor. We reached home just before 9:30pm, much to the delight of 2 excited little pugs!
