Himne: We left Truckee around mid-day on Sunday. With the snow and pine trees back in the distance, we drive through green rolling hills and farmlands were happy cows and horses live.
Beautiful weather all the way to Sacramento and eventually Napa. The vineyards literally show up as soon as we enter into Napa county. Monday we take it easy as Tim’s flu bug seems to be back. Visit the Buena Vista winery (claimed to be the oldest “premium” winery in California, but we had a pretty disappointing experience) and then dinner at a little French place in charming downtown Sonoma. 
Tuesday we visit Viansa winery - highly recommended by Scott, Karli, and MC respectively - and have lunch there. Fun & interesting wine tasting experience. Great Cabernet Franc and Cab Sauvignon Reserve. 
Drive to Calistoga and hang out with the Ames’s. Can’t believe how big the kids are! Also too cute for words! It was great to see them.
Wednesday we leave Calistoga and stop at the petrified forest and Old Faithful geyser on the way out. Next time we might take a mud bath and go to Karli’s lunch recommendation – the culinary institute.
Buddy: I had a blast playing with Zoey in Calistoga! No pigging this time.
TD: Super picturesque region… I can’t believe how close it is to Oakland and yet so different. I am also surprised I haven’t been up in this area. So close to SF and so nice. Meet up with Susie, Chris, the kids and Zoe for dinner in Calistoga. Calistoga in particular has a very cool old town.
