We decided to head to San Francisco for the marathon this year. And in addition to the race, we decided to go up to Napa Valley for a night. We took the Silverado trail through some of the vineyards and decided to stop at the Robert Mondavi and Clos Du Vois wineries. I did a tasting at the Clos Du Vois winery. They are cool places to check out, but after a few they all look the same. I do admit we would have fun having our own vineyard if we had a house like they do! Holy cow those places are massive! And totally gorgeous. Some of the country side reminded me of Tuscany...but we all know Tuscany is just way cooler.
San Fran has been a good trip again. We always love coming back here. And we always stay at the same place. Hotel Nikko is a great place in Union Square, reasonably priced and close to everything. We tried to find the expo for the race on Friday when we got here...but didn't realize that the Piers are numbered evens on one side of the Bay bridge (so Pier 39 where the sea lions are and Fisherman's Warf) and the evens are on the other side of the bridge. Needless to say, we have gotten our walking in! Tomorrow is the big day...go race day!
