New Friends and a Fellow Canadian

Vacation Day 10

We continue to drive around the countryside and enjoy the sights. I Googled things to do in Suisun City and found a few wineries. I picked one in particular so off we went. It was called the Suisun Valley Wine Cooperative. Joe said he didn't realize there were any wineries in the area. Most wineries charge $15 for a wine tasting but these guys were free. Joe tasted around 8 of the wines they had and I think he enjoyed the experience. It was much less harried than the other wineries we've seen along the way. Here is their website (http://www.svwinecoop.com/).

 We stopped at an outlet mall but it was much too busy and warm to do anything so we left there and drove some more. Ross and Carlise invited us to their beautiful home for a bbq. Carlise is from British Columbia so we had a lot in common. After traveling 9 days and eating at restaurants, it was a welcome change to just sit and talk and feel at ease. The meal was lovely. Ross did a great job on the steaks and Carlise's potato salad was delicious. I hope they will take us up on our offer to visit us in Wisconsin sometime soon so we can reciprocate the hospitality.Thanks again guys.
