Wine Country - San Francisco Trip

I just got back from San Francisco on Monday night and had such a wonderful time! Although the original trip was planned because we signed up for the Women's Nike Marathon...we did so much more than run! On Friday we decided to take a 9 hour wine tour trip. This may have been my favorite part of the trip. Our 9 hours started with a shuttle ride into Napa Valley, going over the Golden Gate Bridge. Then we stopped at 4 wineries, enjoyed a beautiful picnic lunch, drank lots of wine and headed back to San Francisco on a ferry boat ride! It was wonderful. Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. (The photo on the left is us getting to the Ferry Building in San Fran enjoying some hot tea and Asian pears - which were so delicious! It was such an enjoyable morning. The four of us girls stayed together throughout the trip even though we met up with 20 other women (Distance Divas) who were running the Marathon too.

The photo on the right is of us at my favorite winery stop where we had out picnic lunch and bought lots of wine too! From left to right: Amanda, Amy, Melanie and Me. Here's how we all know each other - Amy and I used to work together at NCHS in Omaha, Amy & Amanda are neighbors in Omaha, and Melanie used to work with Amanda in Omaha at Kiewit and now she lives near San Fran still working for Kiewit. And it was Amy & Amanda actually introduced Philip and I)

Here's a link to all of Amanda's photos from our San Francisco trip! - http://arsimpson.shu/tterfly.com/

We found two other women running the Marathon that were on our wine tour too!
