Something I did in Napa Valley: Hot-air ballooning.
Both balloon photos were taken by me.
Something I didn’t do in Napa Valley: Grape stomping.
I Love Lucy grape-stomping episode
News reporter grape-stomping fail
Family Guy’s Stewie imitates the reporter’s grape-stomping failure
UPDATED TO ADD MORE PICTURES:
Here’s one from the air.
You can recognize me by my Francis patchwork plaid jacket.
After the flight, we had breakfast at a Tex-Mex place, where I was amused by this sign.
Believe it or not, I had nothing to fear because I wore sneakers in order to climb into the balloon basket. MrB thinks it’s the first time he’s ever seen me wear sneakers outside of the gym. He took a picture in case people didn’t believe it really happened.
Believe it or not!
cool my anti-spam word was ‘dagger’! also, wine tasting is fun esp in napa, i was surprised at how tipsy i got!
I love the picture of all you guys in the balloon – looks like you had a lot of fun!
New Balance, I don’t believe it!
The balloons are so gorgeous – i’ll never forget going to a big balloon festival in Iowas as a kid – incredible, all the colors and that cool inflating noise.
And the tennies look darling, especially with your CFR jacket!

New Balance ought to be paying you a promotional stipend for wearing their sneakers out and about!
That looks like an awful lot of fun, being up that high. And look at that light quality!!!
Wine country seems beautiful. It sounds like you had a great time.
Good morning Wendy! You look very cute in sneakers and that beautiful, beautiful jacket!
Great shot of you and the gang in the balloon.

i have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon. may have to do that if we make it to napa on our upcoming trip to San Francisco.
I’m glad Mr. B took that picture of you in your sneakers. I wouldn’t have believed it otherwise!
AWESOME balloon photos! And I never thought I’d see you in sneakers, so I’m kind of excited.
Y’all look so good in that balloon’s basket! And I’m not surprised to see you in sneakers because you’re a sensible young woman, WendyB.
Hot air balloning…never did it…looks great but also scares me a lot!
