RACHEL'S CONCERT AND NAPA VALLEY TOUR

May 16-18, 2008

Friday Sherrie and I took Southwest to San Jose to attend Rachel's concert "Brahms' "Ein Deutsches Requiem" (see below)" at the Mission Santa Clara. She is singing with the Santa Clara Chorale. The concert was very good. Rachel said that the director, Tom Colohan, is leaving to pursue his Doctorate degree back east.

Saturday morning we drove to Vallejo and visited the Elliott car collection (and saw some of Ryan's dad's other fun collections). Beautiful cars! We took a 32 Ford to lunch and then took a 67 Camaro convertible on a tour of the Napa valley. The day was beautiful and ended with a memorable (and surpisingly tasty) dinner at Millenium Restaurant in the City and ice cream at Maggie Mudd's.

Sunday was a leisurely day just lounging and playing a new game called "Sequence"...well, new to Sherrie and me. You will notice from the pictures that Rachel and Ryan were trying to get me to eat a healthy breakfast. I wanted to eat the caramel corn but oatmeal and fruit won out in the end.

The last bunch of pictures were taken by Rachel with her Nikon.
