Our Trip to Apple Hill

It's peak season at Apple Hill. To go on the week-end is to subject yourself to frustrating traffic and lines. So I took some time off from work and we took the little flapjack this afternoon.



You can see why people flock to the area. The colors on the grape vines are as vivid as we get out here on the west coast.



And there are bins and bins of apples. I wanted Steph to lay Jack in them for a photo but she wouldn't have any part of it. She didn't want him to spit up on the apples!

Not only are there apples - but brussel sprouts are in plentiful supply as well...I never knew this is how brussel sprouts came...



We also stopped by one of our favorite El Dorado wineries - Lava Cap! So named because it sits upon a cap of lava. Go figure. We tried their new 2005 Sangiovese - which I didn't care for. Their '04 was much better. Jack enjoyed his first winery as you can tell from the pictures:



Not sure whether or not this tractor runs.



A fun afternoon...



that tired little Jack out!
