Road trip on Highway 101

Andy had a Friday off because he got an award at work. We wanted to see some more of the Giant Redwoods, so we took advantage of the three day weekend. On the way out there we saw a Lamborghini on the road. We knew that Ben, my nephew would love to see it, so we got some pictures. It was fun to try getting the "best" picture possible.

Bradley just kept saying, "Cool car!"

As we passed the "cool" car.

Looking at the car in the mirror.

We also saw this hot air balloon. We asked the boys if they wanted to fly in one some day. The vote was unanimous, so I guess that means we are going to have to go some day.

We stopped at Calistoga, CA to see the geyser. There are only three geysers in the world that are "faithful" or consistent when they erupt. This one erupts about every 5 minutes. The water comes out at something like 360 degrees!

They also had some Tennessee fainting goats, some Jacob four horned sheep and a couple of llamas. We couldn't get the goats to faint, and believe me we tried!

I love Daniel walking around with his sunglasses on.

We loved seeing all the spring flowers. They were beautiful.

Getting ready to get back on the road. We loved how the flag looked flying against the blue sky.

I am not sure what the orange flowers are called, but they looked so pretty with the blue bonnets.

I miss seeing all the blue bonnets in Texas.

We drove out through Napa Valley to get to highway 101. There are so many vineyards out there. If you haven't been there you should definitely go. It is really pretty country!

Along the way we had to stop to feed Eliza and Bradley had to find a bush. The boys went on a hike down by the river. They made little boats to race. While we were at the river there was a Big Foot sighting...

Don't worry... we got Daniel back unharmed! :)
