Today we left San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge. We decided
that we would hit the wine country of Sonoma and Napa Valley. We stopped at our first winery at about 11:00am and started our day of wine tasting. Most of the wineries had a small tasting fee, which was waved if you purchased a bottle of wine. We decided at that point that our souvenir from wine country would be a bottle of wine from each winery we stopped at. In tota
l, we stopped at 5 wineries, got 3 bottles of white wine and 2 bottles of red wine. Yes, I have now started drinking some red wines...some would be so proud!! It was a beautiful part of the country and fun to go from place to place and try various types of wi
ne. We left wine country and entered into more mountains. We finally realized that we were in the Redwood forest. We stopped at a drive-thru tree. Alan was worried that the car wouldn't fit, but we were successful. Alan kept pointing out that the tree we drove through was older the Jesus, literally!! The tree was not only huge in diameter, but gigantic in height. Alan was pleased because we were finally in an a "Alan-sized" forest. We finally stopped for the night late in the evening.
