After the brunch we got our rental and went to the hotel we where staying in for the night. We went to dinner with Marge, Marty and his kids. It was nice to get to talk to them a little more than the nights before. On Monday we drove across the Golden Gate and towards Muir Woods which is one of the only places where there is still Red Wood trees. It was nice to see what they looked like and how amazingly big they really are. After that we kept on driving Highway 1 along the coast for a while and then we turned inwards on a really small road. We ended up in a small town and had lunch at a Mexican place. After lunch we kept driving towards Napa where we found a nice hotel and stayed for 2 nights. We were not aware that it was Memorial Day, but the traffic was not too bad.
Tuesday we started out to watch Old Faithful which is a geyser. It wasn't much to see but it was nice anyway. Then we started our tour back towards Napa with a stops at some wineries. The first one we tried 5 different wines and then we found Mumm, where they make sparkling wine. They had a tour around the place and we got to see how they make their wine. It was really neat. When we got back to Napa we went on a shopping spree at their outlet mall. Wednesday we drove back to San Francisco but we stopped on the north side of Golden Gate and drove around to get a better view of the bridge. We ended up driving past the place for the wedding. When we got to the other side of the bridge we followed the Scenic 49 mile route for a while. It was a nice way of getting a look at new places of the city. We stayed in the same hotel as before and went to watch a movie. This time it was Pirates 3.
Thursday we met Rob and Amanda in China Town and had a really nice lunch at a small place on a side street. We walked around with them for a while before we drove out to Berkley where Andy and Jess live. We just hung out that night and Jess made fish tacos. It was really good. Friday we went out for breakfast before we left for the airport.
Our trip home deserves a post on its own.
