Cinco de Mayo

Tuesday morning we got up and combined our breakfast and lunch and went to In-N-Out Burger. It said online that they opened at 10:30. We got there about 10:20 and there were people already eating.
DELICIOUS! I wonder if they will ever come to Minnesota?

Streetcars running along Fisherman's Wharf. We took one of these the other night to get to Palomino.



Before we headed out of San Francisco we went to check out The Painted Ladies. "Painted ladies" is a term used for Victorian and Edwardian houses and buildings painted in three or more colors that embellish or enhance their architectural details. The term was first used for San Francisco Victorian houses by writers Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsen in their 1978 book Painted Ladies - San Francisco's Resplendent Victorians. This group of houses is easily photographed because there is a park across the street that has a large hill where we stood for this picture. You can see a nice view of San Francisco in the background.

A Firetruck for the boys:-) They were stopping for lunch at Boudin Bread Co!
Gas price of 4.35 in Downtown San Francisco!
Last night in Napa we had our Cinco De Mayo dinner a night early at the Red Hen Cantina. The bar section was filled with some San Jose Shark fans who were watching the hockey game.
Margarita Pitcher! YUMMY!

At one of the wineries this little lizard came out to say hello:-)
The Golden Gate! It is difficult to photograph while driving in the car.
Napa has a wine train you can take through town to visit some wineries. We didn't take it but saw it a couple times. Today is Thursday and it looked pretty empty.


We visited one of our favorite wineries Louis Martini!
These were some beautiful roses at V. Sattui Vineyards. They had a nice picnic area outside for visitors.


Vineyards in Napa. Hard to imagine these plants produce grapes that are made into bottles of wine.
