Wine Country!!!!

Well it's great out here in California...... We flew into LA last Thursday. Had dinner with my cousin Tim and wife Colleen. It was great to meet up. Then it was up to Oakland California on Saturday where we met up with Big Jon. We've been hitting a few wineries every day and it's been great. The house here in Santa Rosa is wonderful.. The Schafers are staying at our place in St. Thomas. A wonderful Home Exchange. Weather has been wonderful. Cool or cold at night and perfect during the day.

I've been running just enough. Jon and I met up with the Team Challenge group from the Crohn's and Colitis foundation last Sunday. We had a training run and got to run across the Golden Gate Bridge...!!! It was great.

The race is Sunday morning! We have to be out of the house around 5am to drive to Sonoma and then catch a bus to the starting line. I also made my fund raising goal!!!! Thanks to everyone that helped. I really appreciate it. !!!!

Well we have a few winery tours starting at 10:00 am this morning, so gotta run.
