Saturday afternoon...

On Saturday afternoon we drove into the foothills of Placerville and went to Apple Hill. Well, we went to part of Apple Hill. There are around 50 apple orchards, a ton of wineries, a brewery, and a few other things to see along the way. This is all within a 15 mile stretch or so. We went with 4 of my co-workers - Sylvia, Shiraz, Kari, and Jason. Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. The first stop was at a winery, then to an a few apple orchards, another winery, a fudge factory, and a brewery. Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Jeff and I decided to try the sampler flight at the brewery. We had 12 different beers to try!! I wasn't too impressed with any of them, but Jeff enjoyed the IPA (of course!).

Here are some pictures of grapes of the vine. I think these pictures are awesome. It is our hope that we can blow some of the pictures up and hang them up - especially since we have a grape kitchen theme!!
