Napa Valley, Day Two
It's a hard life; taking a working vacation in Napa Valley. Mom is getting a massage, I'm sipping a lovely Pinot Noir and next I'll probably take a nap. In our defense, we got up early and took photos of the sunrise, which I'll show you tomorrow. The best lighting for photos is at sunrise and sunset, so during the day, we can visit wineries, swim in the pool and eat well without feeling too guilty.
We took a very interesting tour of the Robert Mondavi winery and learned a bit about the process of growing wine grapes and taking them through the process of wine making. Much more complex than yarn dyeing!
I love the wine country at this time of year, it is so gorgeous. The vines and grapes, the mustard flowers on the hills, the sharp blue sky, love it all.
Those grapes look amazing. Enjoy your time there - I'm so envious. My daughter and I have taken 2 trips together, and we have some wonderful memories.
I took one trip to the wine country (both Napa and Sonoma) and I still remember it as one of the most relaxing trips I've ever taken. We stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast, ate good food, drank wine, had a mud bath/massage - it was the best!
