From Lake Tahoe we drove to Santa Rosa and stayed outside Ned and Char’s house.  Santa Rosa is a quaint city just north of Napa and Sonoma.  It is nestled right in the heart of wine country.  We really liked staying with Ned, Char and their pup Stella.   Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families that were affected by the fires and we hope they recover quickly.

Half way through the stay my grandma joined us and stayed with us all the way to Newport Beach.  I really enjoyed her coming due to the fact that she always brings me new toys and gives me tons of treats.

Driving from Tahoe to Santa Rosa takes you over some mountain passes where snow has fallen…

Having a nice flight of beers with Uncle Ned at Russian River Brewery

They left me out of this one. At a nice vineyard with Uncle Ned wearing Aunt Char’s favorite hat.

The human went to San Francisco without me and had a blast. They stopped at Sotto Mare and had amazing Chioppino

The next day we all went for a tour through Napa. I found this interesting man, although he wasn’t much of a conversationalist.

Finally my grandmother joined the group. We went for some drinks in Santa Rosa

We also went for a weekend in Sacramento where we all visited Rita, Mel, Sam, and my two favoite Coton’s Shana and Maiche.
