Wine time!

De De says Pop Pop can have his redwoods as long as she can have her wine in Napa Valley. We drove down the "Avenue of the Giants," a parkway with giant redwoods growing right up to the edge of the roadway, even raising the pavement a few inches where the roots are encroaching on the actual road surface. We arrived at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena, and had time to take a swim, jump in the hot tub, and back and forth a few times, and then shower off in a bathroom that is bigger than our whole room area in several of the National Parks - of course, the price is a bit different also. The Inn is surrounded by eight acres of gardens, and is a lovely place in a very pretty town. After dinner tonight, we remarked that we might look like two blimps if we ate this delicious food too long. Wow! Good wine and good food.
