Birthday in Napa

A few months ago, Sarah decided that the family would spend Thanksgiving in San Francisco where our daughter, Kylie, is on a work assignment.

This year. my birthday, November 20, fell only two days before Thanksgiving, so it would be celebrated while on the West Coast.

Sarah and I booked a trip to Napa to give Kylie some space and us a visit with good friend Suellen.

We met her in the town of Napa on Monday night for a walking tour of the cute town and dinner.

Then for my birthday, Suellen offered to take a scooter ride around Napa Valley for a wine tasting and lunch.

We rode her Vespa 250 GTS while she led on an old Vespa ET4.

The weather was almost perfect, if a little cool.

We stopped for a wine tasting and purchase at V Sattui Winery, then lunch in St. Helena.

The 30 mile ride back to Napa was the highlight as the sun was low and the roads perfect.

What a great way to celebrate a birthday!

restaurants in the world.  No, we didn't dine there.

We parked in front of this wonderful Victorian building in St. Helena.
