I made Charles pose for a picture on the Golden Gate Bridge. He called bracing and invigorating. I'd call it frightening, exhilerating, and a 'must do' if you ever go to San Francisco!

We both scurried to take a picture of this large cargo shipping going beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. In the background is Alcatraz prison.

This was my favorite photo from John Muir woods. The Redwood trees are breathtaking in beauty and size. This one doesn't illustrate the sheer size of these giants but this particular stand must be most photographer's favorite spot.

I love this shot Steve took with a wide angle lense. He's positioned between a stand of Redwoods and shooting straight up.

I took this picture of Steve taking a picture to illustrate how big these trees are for anyone who's never seen them before.

Here is a typical vineyard in Napa Valley. I have to admit it's much more beautiful when the vineyards are green but we were a few weeks early for that.

This is one of only two stops we made in Napa - Sawyer Vineyards. It's a small family opened operation known for its Cabernet Sauvignon blend and its Cab. Steve bought a bottle of Merlot Rose - something I had never tasted before but he liked. I bought a bottle of their Cab which was super smooth and rich.

We spent a good portion of our afternoon at Joseph Phelps Winery with Stephen Pavy '81. It's one of the premier stops on any Napa tour - by appointment only! This is a room where they conduct wine education classes.

Steve took this great shot of one of the Phelps vineyards. This shows the beauty of Napa - and when those vineyards below are in season, it's incredibly beautiful.

Steve pours a little Sauvignon Blanc. Phelps makes fabulous wines but is best known for its Insignia - which is a Cabernet blend. I brought a bottle home for some very, very special occasion.
