Sonoma and Napa Valley Wine Country tour

Today I went on a really awesome winery tour to Sonoma and Napa Valley and it was totally awesome. It was a perfect day for a bus trip, such nice weather and it was really sunny too.

We went to 3 different wineries and got to learn a whole bunch about how to swirl the wine and how to taste it and stuff like that, it was pretty funny and our bus was crazy. After lunch everyone was tired and the bus was pretty quiet but our tour guide was really good and told us lots of great info about the area plus a bunch more info too. It was great!! We were encouraged (by a sign on the bus) to give the bus driver a tip at the end of the bus trip so I gave him a nice tip cause he made the trip really interesting and he was very knowledgeable about the area!

Susan and I had a great time on the trip and there were lots of other Canadians on our bus too so that was fun. Susan got a huge allergy attack halfway though which wasn't fun for her because her eyes were red and she was sneezing for most of the afternoon, she got some allergy medicine and that helped her out a bit.

We got home and then I talked to Kristen which was sweet and she said her other new job at the gallery was SO awesome!!!!!! That rocks because it sounds like she did really well and really enjoyed it so I am happy that it was a nice time for her.

Tonight I met up with all my new friends from Pixar and we went out to a Jazz pub/restaurant in Berkeley and it was awesome. More pics to come.
