Slow Down

Vacation Day 9

Sorry I'm late posting this but it was a long day and sleep just seemed a little more important at the time. We've done everything we've set out to do on this trip so we're filling in time with some odds and ends.

Joe took me to the place that makes one of his favorite dinner wines (7 Deadly Zins) called Micheal David Winery near Lodi, California. Remember that song oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again? The song is based on this area. The winery also served as a cafe so we had lunch and Joe got a glass of wine (Earthquake Zin) with his meal. We wandered around the grounds for a while and had a nice leisurely afternoon.

We took a drive on a mountain ridge and the road was narrow and winding. Joe had been here several times when he worked here a few years back so he knew some of the hidden places most tourists don't know exist. The view was beautiful and we could see for miles and miles.

 We did a little shopping and stopped at the Blue Frog Grog and Grill again for a late dinner. It was just as tasty as our previous visit.
