Golden Gate Bridge and Muir Woods

Beautiful View of the bridge. Today we went to Muir Woods, Kinty and Sue have been wonderful taking us everywhere, I'm sure we would have been lost if by ourselves.

Napa Valley

Monday Kinty and Sue took us to Napa Valley, to tour the area and taste some wine. The flowers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful even though the grapes are dormant now.
This vineyard is in Yountville.

This is in Oakville, Robert Mondavi Vineyards.
