MIA N NAPA

Talk about out of touch...

Mr. PV gave me a trip for my birthday in early summer that we were excited for

all the months long

but we had to wait on a good time for him to be gone from work

as if....

finally...the day came and off we went!

I have been to California a time or two, but never to Napa

and I have to tell you it was certainly on my 

to do list!

I did not take but a few photos...so all of these are via google

not at all that I had issues with focusing a camera

and let me share with you if you have never been...

GO

it is

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.

&

F.U.N.

&

A.B.I.T.I.N.T.O.X.I.C.A.T.I.N.G.

we ate

we drank

and we be'd merry

our new friends Roxanne and Bill

organic growers

can you believe we found a vineyard owned by my clan

from Indian Territory?

"One went east, one went west and

well....one fell down in the cookoo nest"

(that would be me)

so...we had a car...and this little valley is so much better explored

if you can do it this way...we just meandered up and down the valley

over and over and over again...tasting the fruit and food

YUM!

and then 

time to leave but with an addition we had not planned

we were so close and so 

not thirsty

that we wanted to see

The Golden Gate Bridge

The Painted Ladies

China Town

thank you Syria for making the trip so easy!

we ended our stay with

BEER

and the most delicious 

oysters on the half shell

but as always

good to be home!

Hey...I missed ya'll!
