Tittle Time in Wine Country

Well now that we are back from Canada, it's time to catch up with some much-belated blogging! (My apologies for the long wait Dad!) Last month started out with a couple of days visiting extended Tittle family 2 hrs north in gorgeous wine country. Benji's Uncle Keith & Aunt Debbie were spending a week at their timeshare at the WorldMark resort in Windsor, CA. They graciously invited us to come up and stay with them. And added bonus was the Floridian Tittles, Uncle Dick & Aunt Karalee, were driving through at the same time & so would also be there. Free lodging, wine tasting, and fun with family we don't get to see often... there was no way we were passing up that offer.

So I twisted Benji's arm and got him to take a few days off from work (if you believe that, you must not be related). We drove up during Katy's naptime Thursday morning... she was a very cooperative girl and slept the whole way. We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the resort with the Northwestern Tittles. The Floridians joined us the next morning, and we all ventured out wine-tasting, Katy included! (Ok, so maybe some wine-tasted while others enjoyed the social element.) It is gorgeous countryside for driving, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. We ended up in Geyserville at a local winery, where Katy charmed the wine server, and then headed back to the resort in Windsor to have dinner together. Saturday, we spent the afternoon in Healdsburg, another quaint little town nearby, strolling around the shops. Katy was very excited to make the acquaintance of a dog in one of the shops! Right before the 3 of us had to head back to San Jose, we all enjoyed a bite to eat together, and managed to get a group shot to testify to a wonderful few days together!

The resort is in the background... we crossed the road to see some cows and geese.
