A trip to Napa Valley!

So, we went on a trip to the Napa Valley in July!  Our 2nd vacation of the summer! Trying to get some traveling done before a baby Kennedy comes along!  Both of our parents wanted to go and so we decided we should go supervise!  We flew into San Franscisco and spent a half day there checking out Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge. 
On the way to Alcatraz

Robbie stuck in a cell!

Look at all of that wine!!



The 1947 Convertible Packard that drove us to our tastings for the day! A-MA-ZING!!


Our 1st visit of the day - Whetstone - Delicious wines!

Arriving at Robinson Family Vineyards - our next stop.

Us with Robin - our guide (Robbie wasn't feeling well when we arrived here so Mr. Bob took him back to the room. =( Very sad he missed this day with us!  It was a complete blast!!

Our 3rd stop of the day - Boyd Family Vineyards

Our tasting at Aonair - beautiful view

So we lost all of the pictures off of my camera for a minute and mom left her glasses in the convertible, so we made a visit to the garage to get the glasses and a few pics!  We recovered my pics when we arrived in Mobile, thanks to Calgaz Photo and a whopping $50 fee, but it was worth it to retrieve all of the memories!


Our last stop on the way to the airport, the Red Wood Forest.  HUGE trees and beautiful scenery.  We needed a little more time here, but we had a plane to catch!  We had a amazing time and would love to go back sometime!  It was a truely amazing trip!!
