Zoe’s Journal

The LotR and I are on a quick trip to Napa Valley, California. Well, quick for me, anyway. He is going to be here all week for his dad’s course, and I am leaving here on Tuesday. The LotR’s mother has been visiting us in Phoenix, and on Saturday, we all flew out here to meet up with the patriarch.

Napa Valley is the home of California wine, but so far I haven’t seen much. The drive out to the valley was two hours from the airport in San Francisco (now THAT is a place I’d love to explore), and I mostly slept. I do remember nodding awake at some point in the taxi and seeing hills of perfectly straight lines of grape vines. Our hotel is about 5 minutes from town - there is a target and Trader Joe’s within walking distance, but not much else.

This morning, I went out to the pool - the water is freaking cold, so I just sunned and burnt the lower half of my left arm while I was reading. Then I came inside, did some internets, played a game, and started reading another book - this one for week.

Tomorrow promises to be a littler more interesting - in the evening we’re going on the popular ‘wine train’, where you get a train car, they serve you a fancy dinner with wine, and chug-chug through many vineyards.

And then I leave the next day and go back to the daily grind of work/gym/work/sleep, etc…

The LotR will be back home on Friday, so I’ll have all sorts of time for innocent mischief
