It became a fun relaxing girls day out. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was a balmy mid-70s day. Cold enough for a sweater in the early afternoon but warm and refreshing as the afternoon wore on.
Seriously... look at this car. It was a 1947 Chrysler Windsor Limousine. My mom told me about a car that her and my dad had when my brother was a baby that this car reminded her so much of. My dad wanted to sell it to get a motorcycle.
I would love to rent out this space for an event
We had an amazing lunch at Cass and we got in the limo for a 5 hour trip to some of the local wineries. We got in the car and Erykah Badu's "Live" album was playing. (It was funny because my niece and I just loaded this album to our respective ITunes when she was in town visiting us 3 weeks ago. But I hadn't listened to it yet on my ITunes so to get in the car with this 60-something chauffeur playing this album. Priceless!)

My aunt and the chauffeur up front chatting about how he was picking up Drew Barrymore the next day for the film festival at Hearst Castle. We thought that was pretty cool.
We drive out several miles through the gorgeous hills around the wineries listening to music and chatting. As we start pulling into the next winery the car makes a funny noise and starts smoking. Luckily it made it around the parking lot and was able to safely park. We went in to wine taste and they had to call back to the winery for another car to pick us up and take us to get our car. Luckily the wine was good and the view was gorgeous so it did not put a damper on our day.
Left to our own transportation, we continued on to several wineries. I didn't get pictures at every stop (I think there were a total of 5), but here are a few from our day.
When we were done it was about a 20 minute drive home.
Have I mentioned that I LOVE where I live??

How cool is that? You had the same chauffer as Drew Barrymore had in the Film Festival? I’m not surprised a Hollywood celebrity like her picked such a classy limousine to drive her down to a very special event. Did you get to drink wine while riding the limousine? =D

Your birthday celebration was fun! I bet you have a lot of wonderful photos to remember your “girl-date” with your Aunt! Aside from the beautiful scenery and the memories you spent together, I’m sure you have great time just tasting the freshly produced wine in the winery. It’s really a day to be remembered!
