When we arrived, it was quite hot, around 90 degrees the first few days. Of course, we Seattleites must have brought the rain with us, because by Saturday it was in the 70's and raining, go figure! On Friday, Cindy and Barry planned a few family outings for us. First, we went to a local winery and did some wine tasting. Yum! It was my first time wine tasting and I had a blast! It's awesome to learn about the wine from the people who make it, and interesting to try all the different types of wine they can make at one winery.
Cool door! I always love a neat front door

Barry, Cindy, Stephanie, and me
There's nothing like a chilled glass of white wine on a hot summer day!
Next, we went to play bocce ball at a place that has bocce ball courts and is also a restaurant. They will be hosting an international championship for the sport next year, so it was very official!
Here's my first attempt
I had never played before, so Barry had to give me some tips
Measuring to see which player was closest to the Pallino (the little silver ball you try and throw your bocce ball closest to) was quite funny. A few times, we were neck and neck!
We were teamed up according to the cars we came in: Prius (Cindy, Chels, me) vs. BMW (Barry, Steph, Dan). Chels must have been winning against her Dad in this photo!
Dan and Boo, so cute!
Cindy and Barry measuring to see which team is closest...Chelsea must be supervising!
We had a really fun time playing! Steph and I were paired up, and we were pretty evenly matched. Chels and her dad played against each other, and Cindy and Dan.
Victory for Team Prius! Chelsea pulled out the talent at the last minute for the big win, woo hoo!
Way to go, Chelsea! I think we'll have to have a re-match next time we visit...
