Maya and Kayla on the plane
We learned a lot about Kayla on this trip... like - think twice before boarding a plane with Kayla when she is a "lap baby." She was happy for some of the trip - as you see here. Maya, on the other hand, has already asked when we can go back to

Maya enjoying her "pull out" sofa bed
We had a suite at the SMI and Maya loved her pull out couch. I personally think that she loved the fact that someone else made her bed every day! Ha...

Jason drove us (in record time) to Healdsburg on Monday. We went to Martinelli, and then to downtown Healdsburg. Some of us went crazy at the "old school" candy shoppe and then we picked up our boxed lunches from Oakville Grocery. We ended our d

Beautiful Martinelli
Judy did our tasting here. The wines are quite high in alcohol but overall very tasty and well balanced. The flavors are enhanced by the alcohol rather than being drowned in it. My favorite was the Guisseppe and Luisa Zin.

The very beautiful doors to the tasting room at Davis Bynum
We tried some great wines here - I especially loved all of their Pinots. This is a great organic winery!

Our gorgeous picnic site
Oakville Grocery did such a great job catering our lunches. The only thing that I would probably do next time is SHARE! The portions are huge. But their cookies are a MUST!! We tried all of the flavors and I think the favorite was a the ginger cookie - yu

Beautiful view from Gargiulo's patio
We jump to the next day - Tuesday. After the managers' meeting (and our spa treatments) we met Larry, our shuttle bus driver, and he drove us to Gargiulo as our first stop.

Screaming Eagle is somewhere out there
Gargiulo is flanked by some very high end vineyards and wineries. Eric was leading our tasting and tour today.

The furniture was hand made (very heavy!)
The entire facility is only 6-7 months new. When Manish and I crashed... I mean visited a few years ago, this was not built yet.
