Mini Vacation

In honor of Rebecca's B-day, we took a mini vacation to the wine country today and had a marvelous time. We visited Sterling Winery, rode a gondola, tasted a variety wines, and learned why it is that wines get descriptions like "nutty, rich aroma, with hints of coffee and apricot." I still don't know how they got this one wine to taste and smell like peaches, though. Neither of us cared for anything red, and we prefer to believe it is because we have good taste (our taste buds aren't dead yet). Then we stopped for a delicious Italian dinner with chocolate moose for dessert. I am still full, and it's been 4 hours! We even made it back before the fog set in. Hurray! I feel like I have the strength to complete my last two outlines before heading home for the real vacation with Stephanie, Tiki, Gato, Pirate, and perhaps Bismark. I need a license plate that says THE ARK.
