Visitors!

We had visitors this past weekend - yay!  Mike's brother, David, and his wonderful girlfriend, Agina, visited from Dallas.  It was so nice to visit with family and enjoy the sights of the Bay Area.  We had a great time and look forward to their next visit!

Sailing on the Bay
We spent Saturday on a 32-foot sail boat in the San Francisco Bay. Our guide was an experienced sailor who was happy to share the ins and outs of sailing and even let us behind the wheel. What started out as a windy, cloudy, cold morning turned into a windy, sunny, cool afternoon. It was quite an experience and we had a blast!

As they refer to themselves, "The Brothers Hall".

Here we go!

Golden Gate!

Steering was a bit harder than I thought it'd be....it's quite an arm workout!

The City



Napa
We headed to Napa on Sunday in search of sunny, warm weather and wine...and we found it!  First, we visited V. Sattui Winery for wine tasting and lunch, then stopped at Gott's Roadside to enjoy our most favorite milkshakes on the planet, and ended up at Castello di Amerosa for another wine tasting.



The grapes are getting plump!  Harvest is next month (Sept)...hard to believe we're already into August.

Great photo!

Beautiful wine country
