Family day at Napa Valley




Today we had a morning swim at 8:00 with Ethan, who is really becoming a very good swimmer. The pool has been a lot fun since it is heated to 80 degrees and the hot tub is even better. Then off to see the wineries. There are hundreds of different wineries in the Napa Valley region. We traveled route 29 to Castello di Amorosa and a castle winery. Todd and I attended our first wine tasting event. It was fun once we got into the mood of selecting the wines we wanted to try and going through the process of tasting some good wines and some not so good. The boys managed to keep themselves busy and were missing their electronic games. They were practicing spelling words to keep busy while Todd and I were tasting wine. They had a great time? We stopped at V. Sattui Winery & Italian Market to view the wine bottling process and see there retail store and cheese shop, it was beautiful with lots of flowers and gardens. Phil we found your favorite place!


Back to the hotel for a another swim and relaxing time reading and quiet fun. Tomorrow we will be going south to head to Oakland and our first baseball game A's against the Pittsburgh Pirates and yet another stadium on the list.
Talk with you tomorrow.
